Abstract

The general surgery workforce has been well characterized recently but few recommendations have been offered to help make the practice of general surgery in rural areas more attractive. This article describes how Iowa Rural Surgical Associates, a group practice, was developed to meet the surgical needs of three rural communities in southeast Iowa. Developing the group resulted in a system of surgical delivery improving patient care in the area and quality of life for the group's surgeons.

摘要

最近已经对普通外科医生的劳动力进行了很好的描述，但几乎没有提出任何建议来帮助提高农村地区普通外科手术的吸引力。本文描述了爱荷华农村外科医生协会（Iowa Rural Surgical Associates）是如何发展起来的，以满足爱荷华州东南部三个农村社区的外科需求。该集团的发展建立了一个外科手术交付系统，改善了该地区的患者护理和集团外科医生的生活质量。
