Get doctors to sign an agreement that states they have to stay in the province they went to school for x amount of years, and I'm all for subsidizing the education.
Without that, you'll be training doctors for Asia, USA, wherever, because it's free to be schooled in Alberta.
I've never really understood why they don't do this in the first place (on all degrees). Raise the cost of schooling for students who don't intend to stick around, and subsidize the education for people who will. It doesn't solve the problem long term, but it at least keeps people around when they graduate.
