Abstract
In the face of significant medical workforce shortages in rural areas (or rather a relative maldistribution between city and country), countries with expansive geography and sparsely scattered populations have invested heavily in trying to increase the number of medical graduates who go on to practice rurally. Australia, Canada and the USA have been particularly active in this field, and their stakeholders have been very keen for any evidence that these strategies are working.
