ABOUT US
At the forefront of the physician recruitment crisis in Ontario, we are committed to transforming how primary care doctors are recruited, retained, and supported. With a significant number of residents not enrolled to primary care providers and a growing population estimated to be 15.9 million in 2024, our work is vital to the health of the province. We aim to streamline services, reduce the strain on emergency departments, and create sustainable solutions. By engaging both local and internationally trained physicians, we are expanding our efforts to meet the urgent healthcare needs of Ontario’s communities.
Welcome to our community of dedicated physician recruiters.
Together, we are addressing the critical need for primary care across Ontario, enhancing recruitment strategies, and working to improve access to quality healthcare for all residents.
