The location patterns of young physicians who settled in the most rural communities of America between 1973 and 1976 are analyzed. The majority of these recent rural settlers were primary care practitioners. They tended to be the alumni of state university medical schools in states with large rural populations. Foreign medical graduates were heavily represented. The principal finding-a tendency toward further concentration of rural physicians within existing medical communities-suggests that those rural communities with the greatest needs amy remain underserved without the assistance of organized external programs.
对1973年至1976年间定居在美国最偏远农村社区的年轻医生的分布模式进行了分析。这些最近的农村定居医生大多数是初级保健从业者。他们往往是农村人口众多的州立大学医学院的校友。外国医学毕业生占比很大。主要发现——农村医生有进一步集中在现有医疗社区的趋势——表明，那些需求最大的农村社区如果没有有组织的外部项目的帮助，可能仍然得不到充分的服务。
