As the US experiences what CTV News calls an “emerging exodus of researchers,” several governments and organizations in Canada are working to recruit this talent. CBC reports that the Government of British Columbia and Government of Manitoba have taken steps to actively recruit American health professionals and support researchers, while the University Health Network has also announced a $30M campaign focused on attracting 100 early career scientists to Canada “from the US and beyond.” UHN will be providing these scientists with mentorship, training, and research funding support. “What [UHN] is doing is interesting and refreshingly different. I don’t think many Canadian universities have gotten their act together,” said McGill University Canada Research Chair in Epidemiology and Global Health Dr Madhukar Pai.
