Here in Canada you get HUGE pay bumps if you agree to go practice medicine in a rural community, yet rural communities are still chronically understaffed (granted, we dont exactly have a capitalist healthcare system, but the point still stands).

You talk about relocating to rurals.
I’m talking about people in rural areas being able to become doctors.
Of course people would be less inclined to relocate vs staying home.

It’s not that risky to become a doctor. It’s true that it requires going into a lot of debt but when you’re guaranteed a starting wage of 400k minimum once you graduate, then that’s not a major concern for most people. That said I do think more can and should be done to recruit people from rural areas, especially people from indigenous communities
