As part of the CIHR Team Grant, we are conducting similar analyses, by sub-sector and sub-speciality, for the period 1993-2005, within the health professions of Medical Laboratory Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physiotherapy; we are pleased that the four regulatory colleges are partners/collaborators in this study. The analytical methods are related to those employed in our studies in Nursing. We are examining what if any differences exist between the activities of workers in hospitals, and in the community. Seed money was provided by M-THAC Opportunities fund.
