The needs of Canada’s healthcare system are growing, and we face a shortage of healthcare professionals. Internationally educated healthcare professionals (IEHPs) already play a key role in the sector but are woefully underutilized. In addition, grave race, gender, and human rights inequities remain unchecked. In the on-going wake of the pandemic, we need to create timely and equitable access to healthcare careers for IEHPs. This workshop will present potential remedies to a complex and long-standing problem. Speakers will address systems wide changes and policy commitments that are needed in the areas of immigration policy, licensure barrier and inclusive workplace integration.
