Applications are open for Family Practice Programs in the province.

The Family Practice Start-Up Program gives $150,000 to new family practice physicians who open a clinic or join an existing practice in the community, in return for a five-year service commitment.

The New Family Physician Income Guarantee gives new fee-for-service family physicians a guaranteed minimum income over their first two years of practice.

The program is available to family physicians who are entering fee-for-service family practice for the first time, or are in another province and intend to move to Newfoundland and Labrador.

The deadline to submit is August 31.
