Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There are two drivers for encouraging undergraduate students to undertake rural general practice placements - first, the need to increase the number of clinical placements available and second, the importance of exposing medical students to rural health care as a career choice. This is the first study to explore the practicalities and challenges of rural general practice placements in the United Kingdom as experienced by students and professionals involved. AIMS:This study aimed to explore the barriers and opportunities to developing undergraduate medical education in rural Wales. METHODS:This study reports on qualitative data from two focus groups with Year 5 students (one group had been on urban placement, the other rural); and telephone interviews with professionals involved in delivering the placements. RESULTS:Five themes emerged from the analysis: the positive learning experience provided by General Practice irrespective of rural or urban location; strong pull factors to the university town; anxiety and expectation associated with a rural placement; accommodation whilst on placement; the extra cost associated with transport in rural areas. CONCLUSIONS:It is important to address students' concerns associated with the practicalities of going on a rural placement. Rural practice placements need to be raised earlier in the undergraduate curriculum.
