Students studying medicine in the province have one million new reasons to stay at home.
The Friends of the Christofor Foundation have donated 1 million dollars to the New Brunswick Medical Education Trust.
Chair Donald Craig says the money will be used towards $12,000 bursaries for students who want to practice medicine in the province.
With 50% of the province's doctors near retiring age, Craig says it is vital to keep young doctors practicing in New Brunswick.
