The challenges and rewards of rural family practice in New Brunswick, Canada: lessons for retention
Rural and Remote Health, 06/04/09

Miedema B et al. - This study demonstrates that rural family physicians in the province of New Brunswick, Canada face numerous challenges while practicing in rural areas. The most important challenges are not medical or technical in nature, but the ?soft? issue of maintaining professional and private boundaries. Rural physicians, when off duty, want privacy. Rural family physicians have to become more assertive about their needs, while at the same time, patients have to realize that off-duty physicians are private citizens.
