Ethnicity of Doctors

Question

A faculty member is trying to look at the trends in the number of doctors by ethnic origin and/or place of birth in Canada. I haven't found any profile or topic-based tabulations which will provide both sides of the issue and unfortunately, the PUMF doesn't break out doctors (physicians) from other occupations in health.

Have I overlooked something? Can anyone offer suggestions? Perhaps a custom tabulation could be done?

Answer

I found this table (97F0012XCB2001048) which provides visible minority by detailed occupation (SOC).

Temporal=2001&PID=60932&APATH=7&GID=517770&METH=1&PTYPE=55496&THEME=46&FOCUS
=0&AID=0&PLACENAME=0&PROVINCE=0&SEARCH=0&GC=99&GK=NA&VID=1676&FL=O&RL=0&FREE=0

And this one with the same variables only for NOC : (97F0012XCB2001050)

Temporal=2001&PID=60937&APATH=7&GID=431515&METH=1&PTYPE=55496&THEME=46&FOCUS
=0&AID=0&PLACENAME=0&PROVINCE=0&SEARCH=0&GC=99&GK=NA&VID=1625&FL=O&RL=0&FREE=0

If you are looking for place of birth, and the level of detail is too aggregated with the PUMF, I know you can custom order it. Of course, it would be subject to confidentiality suppressions, etc.
