Statement of Ethical Principles for the HealthForceOntario

The  Agency will:

• Protect the health care systems of developing nations and under served jurisdictions by avoiding direct marketing to their physicians.
• Collaborate with Ontario communities, employers and related organizations to identify and reach shared goals regarding physician recruitment.
• Provide all potential recruits with clear, concise and up-to-date information in order that they can make an informed decision about returning or relocating to Ontario, including, but not limited to, regulatory requirements for practice, immigration requirements, cost of living and quality of life.
• Provide detailed information about the positions being recruited for, including, but not limited to, compensation, working environment, and other relevant conditions (full/part-time, rural, locum, etc.).
• Take a comprehensive and facilitative approach to recruitment that recognizes a candidate's unique and individual life continuum — stretching from the personal to the professional.
• Provide equal access to information, one-on-one support and links to transitional services to all interested individuals, regardless of whether they were directly recruited.
