There can be a whole variety of incentive programs, but we are specifically looking at five key things that will make a difference: provide rural access scholarships to people from rural areas so they have a better chance to meet the financial obligations of medical school and be more likely to go back to rural areas; provide more training in rural areas to train people where they come from and where they're going to go with the best skills they have; provide advanced skills for people going into rural practices so we can give the best care possible; provide leadership in medical schools connected to the community by funding chairs of rural medicine and chairs of rural health research to focus on the rural communities like Kincardine and Port Elgin.
All of those items need some funding, and some is provincial and some is federal. We focus on the federal-facilitated funding to make a difference in the short term to kick-start it and get things going to make sure we get more rural doctors into the system.
