Annotation:

This report "The Practicing Physician Community in Canada: Workforce and Workload as gleaned through Billing Profiles for Physician Services", focuses on physicians who practice clinical medicine and bill fee for service (FFS). It does not provide a head count of physicians, regardless of their activities, who are licensed in Canada. It should, therefore, be relevant to the current dialogue addressing adequacy of physician availability for clinical service needs, timely access to required services, waiting periods, etc.
