Modelling and forecasting play a critical role in identifying where and how we can strengthen Canada’s health workforce. By leveraging statistical models and tools, planners can attempt to estimate future supply and demand, test scenarios, and understand the potential long-term impacts of policy decisions.  

Our models leverage an array of data sources describing the historical state of the health workforce across the country to explore future scenarios. The models are fully open source, with their source code, data, and methodologies freely available for download. 

Please take a moment to explore the models and test scenarios. 

As new data approaches and insights emerge, we will continue to evolve our modelling work and share it openly with the health workforce planning community.
