Burnout amongst health care workers in Quebec, the province hardest hit by Covid-19, is a serious problem. Meanwhile, internationally trained doctors, nurses and other health care workers resident in Quebec may be looking to gain a foothold in the Canadian labour market. They possess knowledge and skills which are sorely needed at the moment, yet often struggle to cut through red tape to be recognized and fully licenced to practise here. Offering relief and respite to those already on the front lines of health care is a win-win situation.
Across Canada, the lockdown is gradually easing. But many health care visits and procedures have been postponed over the past two to three months, so there is definitely a backlog of patients waiting for care. As well, it remains to be seen if or when a second wave will overwhelm us. At that point, respite for those toiling on the front lines will be even more important than it is now.
