OTTAWA -Nye Bevan, the British politician, once lamented that it took a
certain kind of organizational genius to produce a shortage of coal and
fish at the same time, given the British Isles are made of the former
and surrounded by the latter.

The same thought struck during a cursory examination of Canada's doctor
shortage. The Canadian Medical Association launched a publicity campaign
pointing out that almost five million Canadians do not have a family
physician and that the country would need 26,000 more doctors to meet
the OECD average of physicians per family.

Yet, there is a glut of doctors trained abroad who have moved to Canada
but cannot find resident spots in teaching hospitals to give them the
accreditation they need. Figures from last year show that only 20% of
the 1,486 foreign-trained Canadian and permanent-resident doctors were
matched with residency positions at Canada's teaching hospitals. This
means 1,188 graduates, who had passed their licensing exams, were unable
to find spots required to qualify as family doctors.

The hospitals claim the reason so many potential doctors were turned
down was because of a teacher shortage. But here's the real kicker:
While university hospitals have been rejecting doctors who might have
moved into towns and cities across Canada to provide the health care
that Canadians expect and deserve, they have been accepting trainees
from foreign countries in record-breaking numbers -- all of whom come
here at their governments' expense and then return home once fully trained.
