Surgical practice in rural communities: challenges and opportunities.
I have attempted to point out some problems that face the surgeon in a rural practice as well as some of the advantages of living in a rural community. Surgical residents may find that a career choice in rural surgery merits their attention and consideration because the apparent obstacles can be readily overcome, and practice in a rural area can be intellectually and professionally challenging and rewarding.
