University Health Network Takes Bold Step to Attract Global Scientific Talent

In a bold bid to stay abreast of global political upheaval and scientific prowess, Toronto’s University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s top health research hospital, is boldly trying to recruit world-class medical scientists to Canada—especially in the wake of the Trump administration’s policy shift in America.

UHN President and CEO Dr. Peter Pisters said the organization believes there is a chance to attract world-class scientific staff who might be driven away from the United States by the political situation. The revised immigration policy revolutionizes and the growing fear science is vanishing under Trump is leading some of the world’s best scientists to look for freer and safer alternatives to continue their work.

UHN will place—and Canada, for that matter—on the world map as a haven of scientific excellence, academic freedom, and creativity in research. The network is attempting to offer competitive funding, collaborative environments, and secure career prospects for foreign scientists contemplating relocation.

The plan includes the creation of focused recruitment schemes to reach international pools of talent and collaboration with the federal and provincial governments to facilitate visa and residence procedures for scientists. UHN will also increase its space and research facilities to house the expected surge in talent and make itself a worldwide hub for healthcare and biomedical innovation.

This is also included in the larger vision for Canada as a global science and innovation leader. Federal science policy, coupled with rising research and development investment, continues to place the nation on the map as a destination for students and researchers alike.

By riding on international uncertainties and projecting Canada as a science-oriented and receptive country, UHN’s initiative not only enhances the growth of a healthier national research culture but also advances Canadian patients’ care and medical innovation.

As changing geopolitical climates continue to rise, there are institutions like UHN coming forward to make sure Canada is in the leading position for scientific advancements and health care quality.
