The share of female practicing physicians aged 35-44 in Canada has shown a steady increase, projected to rise from 53.05% in 2024 to 53.26% in 2028. In 2023, this share stood at 53.00%. This incremental growth reflects a consistent trend towards gender balance within this professional demographic. The year-on-year increase between 2024 and 2025 is slight, showcasing the stability of this upward trajectory. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years from 2023 to 2028 is subtle but positive, highlighting a slow yet stable progression.

Future trends to watch for include:

Possible acceleration of gender balance due to heightened awareness and initiatives for gender equity in medicine.
Potential impact of retirement patterns among older cohorts on the overall physician demographics.
The influence of medical school enrollment trends on future workforce composition.
