The Dalhousie University Experience of Training Residents in Many Small Communities.

Gray, Jean D.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v69 n10 p847-51 Oct 1994

A study of Dalhousie University (Nova Scotia) medical school primary care residency graduates (n=200) and other specialty graduates (n=371) suggests that the institution's policy of requiring first-year residencies in small community health services may cause more graduates, both primary care and specialists, to choose rural practice locations.
