The HealthForceOntario strategy is:

• Identifying and addressing Ontario’s health human resource needs.
• Engaging partners in education and health care to develop skilled, knowledgeable providers and create the health care delivery teams that will make the most of their abilities.
• Introducing new and expanded provider roles to increase the number of providers working in health care and build on the skills of those already in the system.
• Making Ontario the employer-of-choice for all health care providers.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities are delivering on the HealthForceOntario strategy in partnership with the province’s health care consumers and providers.
