I agree. We have the same reality. When medical students choose to be residents, they have the choice of The College of Family Physicians and a variety of specialties at the Royal College. Increasing access is absolutely part of the solution. Of course, nothing is easy in that, because as you increase access you have to increase the number of teachers, and teachers are somewhat smothered right now in a system that is overburdened. Again, it's about having those multiprofession conversations on how we address the issue.
As much as we need doctors, I think we also need a system that respects that we support doctors to be doctors. One of the problems we see right now is that we have physicians who will tell us that 30% of their day is spent on administrative tasks. If we could lighten up that load, our doctors would have a better quality of practice and we would be able to expand the reach.
