Abstract

This paper describes the population of PHC, PHC-related and specialist physicians in British Columbia deemed to be in active clinical practice, assesses temporal patterns of supply of this workforce, and describes the demographic characteristics and geographic dispersion of physicians in three time periods. At the request of the BC Ministry of Health, we analyzed data from fiscal years that predate the Health Transition Fund (1996/97) and Primary Health Care Transition Fund (2000/01), and from the most recent period for which complete data were available (2004/05).
