Summary
In total, 45 people are currently engaged as practising gynaecologic oncologists within the 23 responding centres. All centres identified within Canada have responded to the survey. This number of 45 is expected to decrease by seven by a process of attrition through to the year 2001. In all, 20 oncologists are stated as being needed to add to the total complement in Canada by 2001, although funding for only four of these positions has been identified. Despite the perceived needs, funding realities may well have an effect on the process of recruitment and potentially the pattern of practice.
The stated target of having two to three individuals per year in Canada complete their subspecialty training in gynaecologic oncology remains valid in view of current projections to 2001.
This report is provided for information to all those identified in the initial survey distribution in addition to the Society of Gynaecologic Oncologists of Canada, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
