Importance of Exposing Students to Rural Healthcare
The podcast episode discusses the importance of exposing medical students to rural healthcare. It is highlighted that one solution to address the shortage of doctors in rural areas is to bring in more doctors from those areas. However, this approach is not considered viable as rural students also aspire to go to urban areas. Instead, the episode suggests making rural healthcare a part of the curriculum and exposing students to rural doctors. By giving students this exposure, they can better understand the opportunities available in rural healthcare and be more inclined to work there.
