My solution- free education for doctors. Have some sort of system in place that for every two or three years of practicing medicine in their home province, they write off one year of schooling costs.
I have known people who became doctors and are faced with almost $100K worth of student loans. Their solution is to find the quickest way of paying those off. If they know that they never have to pay them off, then all of a suddent they aren't looking at starting their practice elsewhere.
It may leave us with a bunch of younger doctors at first, but I think that many will want to stick around after spending so many years establishing their practices.
