Family medicine education in rural communities as a health service intervention supporting recruitment and retention of physicians: Advancing Rural Family Medicine: The Canadian Collaborative Taskforce.

Abstract

The work of the task force provides an opportunity to bring the various partners together in a coordinated way. By understanding who is responsible and the actions each stakeholder needs to take to make the recommendations a reality, the task force can lay the groundwork for developing a coordinated, comprehensive health human resource strategy that considers the integral role of medical education as a health system intervention.
