The forecast for male practicing physicians aged 35-44 in Canada from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend, increasing from 12.81 thousand in 2024 to 13.99 thousand in 2028. This reflects a growth trajectory beginning from the actual data in 2023, where the figure is not specified but is lower than 12.81 thousand. Year-on-year growth rates demonstrate a steady increase: 2.50% from 2024 to 2025, 2.36% from 2025 to 2026, 2.08% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.97% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year span stands at approximately 2.20%.
Future trends to watch include policy changes influencing medical workforce dynamics, such as immigration policies that could affect foreign-trained physician contributions, or shifts in educational output that could modify the pipeline of new male physicians entering practice. Technological advancements and healthcare delivery models may also impact physician demand and numbers.
