The recruitment, migration and integration of health workers in the Canadian context of health workforce shortages has global implications. In this talk, Dr. Bourgeault will address the key trends in Canada, including recent efforts to more quickly integrate internationally educated health workers already here, with recent analyses of the consequences of local policies and practices for countries from which health workers are being recruited or migrating.
