An Approach to Training and Retaining Primary Care Physicians in Rural Appalachia.

Roberts, Allan; And Others

Academic Medicine, v68 n2 p122-25 Feb 1993

The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine's success in educating and retaining primary care physicians for practice in rural Appalachia is ascribed to its focused mission; a multistate student exchange program; careful recruitment, admission, and placement; early clinical training in rural sites; and status as a state-supported institution.
