Rehab Workforce

The COVID-19 pandemic placed tremendous strain on the health care system and exacerbated health human resource issues across all professions, including rehabilitation. The RCA is working with provincial partners to advance a rehab workforce strategy and prioritize key models of care that support the recruitment, retention and provider experience of rehabilitative care professionals.

As a first step, an RCA task group and system partners have completed an environmental scan of the current state of rehabilitative care health human resources. Acknowledging the rapidly changing landscape and challenges associated with health human resources, this report reflects information gathered up to March 2023.
