healthcare needs. For every additional healthcare professional trained, there is a direct benefit to the healthcare system and the economy. Yet, Canada continues to fall short in expanding medical school spots, residency positions, and clinical teaching opportunities compared to other nations.<\/p><p>At the same time, healthcare professionals are grappling with challenging working conditions and burnout, putting further strain on the system.

Canada only allocates 1.5% of total public health spending to health research, while Australia allocates 3.3% and the U.S. allocates 5.9%.

The economic impact of smoke-related health issues, which reached over $1.28 billion in Ontario alone over just five days, and the evacuation of 100-bed hospitals in Fort McMurray and Yellowknife due to wildfires, further illustrate the increasing strain on healthcare systems.<\/p><p>Future health professionals must be trained to respond to environmental crises and illnesses, while capital
