There is now another incentive to attract and retain medical professionals in Saint John. Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca Canada has donated half a million dollars to the New Brunswick Medical Education Trust. The endowment will fund an annual bursary for medical students. President and CEO, Mark Jones, says the bursary will allow more students to train at home instead of going off to university elsewhere and never coming back.
Jones says he hopes the donation will inspire other contributions to grow the Trust Fund across the province.
