    The Family Care Team Recruitment Incentive is available for doctors who join a family care team before the end of this year and is available retroactively for all current family care team physicians.

    Government is offering a new $75,000 incentive to salaried physicians working with NL Health Services who join a family care team for at least one year. The Family Care Team Recruitment Incentive is available for doctors who join a family care team before the end of this year and is available retroactively for all current family care team physicians. This is in addition to other incentives, such as the Physician Signing Bonus, which range from $100,000 to $150,000 for the five-year return-in-service.  Those not eligible for the Physician Signing Bonus or unable to sign a five-year return-in-service agreement are able to obtain this incentive for a one-year return-in-service. Over 120 physicians and more than 660 nurses have been  recruited since April of last year.
