      It takes time to scale up. The bottleneck is usually residency, where we don’t have enough doctors to train the new ones

        Good points, thanks! I know we have people who immigrated here and were certified as medical professionals in their home country, yet can’t work here in their field of expertise. What can we do to get them certified to work in BC/Canada?
