Title
The McGill Retention Bursary Program: Evaluation Report : Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project
Abstract
An evaluation of this bursary program was conducted, focusing on the components of the program (e.g. eligibility criteria, selection process, etc.) and its outcomes (e.g. recipient intention to return to or stay working in a selected Quebec region at the end of their training, potential impact of the bursary program on retention of health professionals in English-speaking communities, etc.). The objectives of the evaluation were 1) to describe the current processes related to the functioning of the McGill Retention Bursary Program; 2) to explore recipients’ experience of this bursary program; 3) to explore community networks’ experience regarding their collaboration with this bursary program; 4) to assess the effectiveness of the bursary program; and 5) to propose potential improvement strategies for the bursary program currently in place.
