Graduate medical professionals who wish to join the Government's voluntary bonding scheme are being called on to register their interest.
The fourth intake of doctors, nurses, midwives, medical physicists and radiation therapists is now open to those whose last year of study was in 2011.
The scheme encourages newly qualified people to start their careers in hard to staff communities and specialties, by offering payments to their student loans after a three to five year bonded period.
Health minister Tony Ryall says it improves access to health services in vulnerable communities and isolated areas.
