    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology Workforce Analysis
    • Canadian Healthcare System Monitoring

    Background:

    • A significant decrease in the number of otolaryngologists in Canada has been observed since 1975.
    • Current immigration regulations may exacerbate this shortage and jeopardize otolaryngology training programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical need for a system to monitor otolaryngology (ENT) healthcare capacity in Canada.
    • To propose the development of a permanent information agency by the Canadian Otolaryngological Society (COS).

    Main Methods:

    • The study is based on an analysis of historical trends in otolaryngologist numbers.
    • It considers the potential impact of immigration policies on the specialty's workforce.

    Main Results:

  • The otolaryngologist workforce in Canada has experienced a dramatic reduction.
  • Existing and future immigration policies pose a threat to the sustainability of otolaryngology training.

    • Conclusions:

    • A continuous monitoring system for otolaryngology manpower is essential for Canada.
    • Such a system, supported by statistical data, would empower the COS to advise stakeholders on national healthcare capacity.
