The share of female practicing physicians aged 55-64 in Canada demonstrates a rising trend from 2023 into 2028, starting at 40.76% in 2024 and steadily increasing to 43.16% by 2028. This represents consistent year-on-year growth, with the Compound Annual Growth Rate providing a clear signal of this upward trajectory. Focus for the immediate years will be to monitor whether policies and educational incentives continue to encourage gender parity, which could further influence these numbers.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in medical school enrollment demographics.
- Policy shifts promoting gender equality in healthcare.
- Potential impacts of retirement rates among male physicians in this age group.
