The share of male practicing physicians in Canada is on a declining trend from 53.28% in 2024 to 51.21% in 2028. This downward trajectory highlights a potential shift towards gender balance in the medical field. When considering the data from 2023 to 2024, the share decrease is indicative of an ongoing trend that has seen male physician representation incrementally fall. Further, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average yearly decrease throughout the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Continued gender diversification in medicine, with increasing female representation.
Potential shifts in medical school demographics, with more female enrollments.
Impacts on healthcare delivery and policy as workforce demographics evolve.
