Politics of rural health care: recruitment and retention of physicians.

Year: 1993

Type: article

Abstract: The shortage of physicians in underserviced areas has been defined, and the causative recruitment and retention factors have been identified. The CMA report provides a framework for understanding these factors. Many can be modified, but this requires cooperation between physicians, communities, hospitals, medical schools, medical associations and governments. The development of a rural-practice master plan in each province would facilitate this process.
