There already are. I had a hand in overhauling the so-called military medical training program some years ago at a point when the Canadian Armed Forces were extremely short of physicians. They weren't getting into the medical schools. The military medical training program existed, but the applicants weren't getting in. They were getting to the point of being interviewed, but they then would not engage in the self-aggrandizement at interviews that seems necessary to get into one of the Canadian medical schools.
I and some of my colleagues negotiated supernumerary positions both at the University of Ottawa and at Queen's University. The University of Ottawa was chosen because it's bilingual. I think there were four positions at the U of O and a couple at Queen's. If people got to the interview stage, that is to say that they met the academic requirement to go to medical school, and they were already in the armed forces, we would be able to pay for them to go through as supplementary positions.
The interesting thing was that, as soon as we did that, all of a sudden, huge numbers of people started being successful getting into the regular quotas in the medical schools. What had happened was that people in the armed forces had been demotivated about applying to the MMT program because they figured that nobody would back them up. As soon as the department went ahead and made a few subsidized positions, all of a sudden, a lot of the top people who could do it applied and got in to the regular medical school stream.
