The obvious answer is that we need to increase medical school enrolment and residency places across the country, and we have to make the practice environment enticing to learners. We're only going to entice medical students and residents to train in family practice when they can see that their preceptors or teachers are thriving and enjoying their practice environment.
I trained as what we call a Canadian studying abroad, so I went to Australia for medical school and then came back to practise. I'm from Saskatchewan and I practise in Saskatchewan. For that reason, there are not enough spots in Canada. I was lucky to be able to come back. There were four spots for my residency site and there were 700 applicants, so it is not at all easy.
