The return of service contracts exist now for the international medical graduates who receive residency spots. They are asked to comply with the standards. Ontario has changed those so now they can go to Hamilton or Oakville, different boroughs of Toronto, and even to London, Ontario. They can do their return of service there.
It will have an impact on Barrie and on northern Ontario. The international medical graduates will stay closer to their cultural groups, so where are the return of service contracts for the folks who are paying tuition in Ontario and then in family practice residencies? Where are they doing their return of service contracts? If they choose to do one, they will take funding that will send them fairly far afield into northern and rural Ontario.
