Training doctors specifically for the suburban and rural areas / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

The cultivation of medical and health personnel in the rural areas is currently confronted with severe challenges: very few graduating students go and work in the poverty-stricken or mountainous areas and there is a shortage of rural medical and health personnel. An effective mechanism for solving the problem in a short time has been the establishment of medical and health personnel training centers that recruit students specifically from the mountainous and poverty-stricken areas and assign them back there upon graduation. It has promoted the development of unique curriculums designed specifically for the training of personnel specializing in clinical medicine from rural grassroots. The establishment of long-term mechanisms that ensure the support of the development of the rural medical and health cause by urban medical and health human resources strongly guarantees the development of rural in-service education and non-academic training.
