Despite concern about the provision of medical services in rural and remote areas, Canadian medical colleges have been graduating too few students willing to practise in those areas. In this article evidence is presented to support the need for development of special programs for students intent on rural practice. These programs should involve: (i) recruitment and identification of the right kind of student; (ii) emphasis on the teaching of those skills appropriate to rural practice; (iii) maximum utilization of rural teaching practices and community hospital resources. Departments of Family Medicine seem to be in the best position to develop these programs.
尽管人们对农村和偏远地区的医疗服务提供存在担忧，但加拿大的医学院校培养的愿意在这些地区行医的学生人数仍然太少。本文提供了证据，以支持为有意从事农村医疗实践的学生制定特殊计划的必要性。这些计划应包括：（i）招募和识别合适的学生；（ii）强调适合农村实践的技能教学；（iii）最大限度地利用农村教学实践和社区医院资源。家庭医学系似乎最有能力制定这些计划。
