Yes. There are so many different specialized kinds of nurses, nurses are highly skilled, and not every procedure needs an MD anesthesiologist. A healthy adolescent or young adult getting wisdom teeth extracted is very different from a medically complex older adult undergoing hip replacement

Can someone explain to me why we have such a shortage in Canada when it’s simple supply and demand.
If supply is low, can’t the province run healthcare just pay more or even just lower tuition for new doctors?
It sounds similar to the other labour shortages where they refuse to pay more and act like they’ve tried everything.

Best we can do is cap raises at 1% per year.
From what i know, anaesthesiologists are some of the highest paid MDs. I often ear people in the medical field saying that the anaesthesiologist is not available because they're paid so well that they can work part time and get the same salary as many other physicians...
So there should be lots of students lining up to become one.
This is conjecture, but I think it's protectionism by strong Canadian physicians' unions. More physicians in the job pool means less job security and earnings potential for those already in it. There are many ways we could get more physicians in the workforce and/or in rural/remote communities that domestic MDs may not want to work in
Just put me to sleep forever so I can know peace for the first time in my life
