Internationally Educated Health Professionals (IEHPs) Banner

Internationally Educated Health Professionals are an important topic in workforce planning, and until now, consolidated data on this part of the health workforce has been hard to find.

Our latest dashboard module has been designed to support evidence-based workforce planning, identify gaps, and shape strategies for recruitment, retention, and integration of IEHPs.

Here are some links to tools, resources and insights to support informed decision making.

Land Acknowledgement & Recognition

We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territories of many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We are grateful to the people who have cared for the land for centuries and the current stewards who care for it today. We recognize and celebrate the strength and resilience of Indigenous health workers. We embrace the opportunity to support the advancement of cultural safety for all those who provide care and those they care for.

Who we are

Health Workforce Canada was established in 2023 to strengthen health workforce data and planning to ensure health workers are there to provide the care people need.

We bring people together to identify what works and what doesn’t in health workforce data, planning, policy and care. Through our efforts, we are contributing to a cost-effective and sustainable health care system.
