B.C.’s new 5-year health-care strategy promises to breakdown barriers, expand powers
Within the next year, B.C. says pharmacists will be prescribing certain medications, first responders will be performing more medical duties and medical schools will have dozens more seats to offer prospective students.
This will be limited to the approximately one million people who don’t have a family doctor, according to the province. Plans to open a second medical school at Simon Fraser University also remain underway, although delayed at least several years. The province originally said things would be up-and-running by fall 2024, but now says it will likely be fall 2026.
