My favourite solution to Doctor shortages would be to drastically increase the number of spots available for doctors but at the same time set the tuition to approach the cost of educating the doctor.
Instead of scholorships you provide forgiveable interest free loans for large protions of the tuition. If after 10 years the Doctor is still in the province/country the loans could partially be forgiven.
Really I think most post-secondary education should be funded in this manner. If you leave the country you should have to pay back the gov's contribution to your education.
