Ontario is expanding a free tuition program to more health-care professions in order to entice future graduates to stay in the province and provide care to underserved communities in return.

The province’s Learn and Stay grant, announced last March, will now also cover tuition and other costs for paramedic and medical laboratory technologist programs, said Premier Doug Ford in a press conference in London, Ont., on Jan. 20.
