"There are currently only 16 Aboriginal medical school students in the five medical schools in Ontario, which is only 0.6% of the overall enrolment of 2,584. On the basis of equitable enrolment, there should be at least 44 Aboriginal medical students at the present time. Based on population, a conservative estimate is that there should be 375 Aboriginal doctors already in practice in Ontario rather than the current dozen." 2020 VISION: A Strategy for Graduating More Aboriginal
