The growing role of incentives to attract doctors is putting a strain on some communities, according to an expert.
With local governments relying more and more on these incentives, communities that are seen as less desirable are being put in “an impossible situation,” said Ian Culbert, executive director of the Canadian Public Health Association, in a CBC report.
“It is a very negative force as far as health equity goes. It creates an unlevel playing field and it is out of a sense of desperation,” Culbert said.
