Description
Little is known about the numbers, qualifications and professional activities of public health physicians in Canada, despite a perception that they are in short supply. (1-3) Canadian plans for public health personnel deployment during emergencies (e.g., pandemic, avian influenza, terrorism) (4,5) include consideration of 'surge capacity'--the ability of public health systems to adequately manage the emergency health protection needs of large populations. (6) Generic competencies for public health work have recently been described for Canada. (7) Public health physicians have key roles in the investigation and mitigation of immediate risks to human health. (8) In a public health emergency, they would not only have a legislatively-mandated role as health sector leaders, but would also be considered to have specific advanced skills and preparation to lead, manage, communicate, collaborate and act. (8) How many public health physicians could Canada mobilize in the event of a public health emergency? METHODS
