Through the twentieth century, the nature of medical practice has changed more quickly, more dramatically, and far more publicly than that of any other profession in Canada. In this study Bernard Blishen identifies the social and political pressures on the medical profession and assesses how it has responded to them. Among the changes doctors have confronted are third-party pressures from government and hospital bureaucracies, greater public knowledge, improved technology, recognition of patients’ rights, and legal challenges. Blishen discusses how the doctors achieved dominance in the health field, reviews demographic changes within the profession and the larger population, examines data on the changing health status of Canadians, and charts physician supply against patient demand. He finds that the chief source of his profession’s collegial strength has been the homogeneity of its membership. This homogeneity is declining with increasing numbers of women and ethnic groups in the profession and increasing specialization. Blishen offers a comprehensive, quantified overview of a profession in transition, and suggests the implications of its changes for all Canadians.

Now in its second edition, Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing provides a comprehensive and uniquely Canadian review of the roles of clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, the two streams of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the country. With contributions from notable professionals and academics of the field, the text explores the history and evolution of APN in Canada, from its rural and remote outpost beginnings to the present, and proposes a vision for its future within the health care system. Key issues are examined in relation to economic, educational, legislative, political, regulatory, and social environments that have shaped the continued integration of APN roles across the country. Additionally, the contributors apply the Canadian Nurses Association’s pan-Canadian framework and role competencies to real clinical cases. Speciality roles, including geropsychiatry, ambulatory care, and neonatal, are also examined. New to this edition are chapters that focus on the unique challenges of developing APN roles in Quebec; the social determinants of health of Indigenous, inner-city, rural and remote, LGBT2SQ, and refugee and migrant populations in Canada; and other critical issues, such as performance assessment and global perspectives. Thoroughly updated, this second edition of Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing is a must-read for those in the nursing profession, especially students in nursing programs.

A type-A American, a laid-back Canadian, and two doctors fighting for the same position. What could go wrong? The small rural town of Elizabeth might not be the most advanced place in British Columbia, but it’s definitely one of the most interesting. Founded by hippies, most residents proudly live off the grid. But as the population ages and young people move away, the town is left without a doctor. When Doctor Elizabeth Shirley hears about a program that will help pay off her medical school loans if she works in a rural clinic, she heads to Canada as part of a doctor exchange program. She has the same name as the town, which her mother tells her is a lucky sign. Sure, Canada is a long way from San Francisco, but surely living there isn’t that different, right? Doctor Garrett McKeon’s grandmother has been begging him to move to Elizabeth for years. When she offers him the chance to manage the town clinic right after his divorce is finalized, he decides to finally make a change. Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication, there’s another doctor there who thinks she’s the one in charge of the clinic. Worse yet – she’s an American. With neither one of them willing to leave, they have no choice but to work together -- or kill each other, whichever comes first. When the residents decide to play matchmaker with the two new doctors, things get a little more complicated. Suddenly those late nights at the office aren’t just for lab work… “Canadian Doctor” is a midlife, opposites attract, fish-out-of-water romance. This steamy story includes a quirky off-grid small town, two rival doctors fighting their attraction, and a sweet happily ever after.
