Offer CME and accelerate licensing

Regarding 3-year residency,1 the aims are good. The timing is disastrous.

With a shortage of doctors now, the population further growing by 1.5 million from immigration in the next 3 years,2 and with 17.5% of survey respondents in one study planning on retiring in the next 5 years,3 your plan should be postponed in favour of offering continuing medical education to licensed physicians to fill the gaps you see and accelerate licensing of physicians trained abroad.
