RESOURCES FOR RURAL AREAS |
|
|
| What are the positive aspects of working in rural health care?
|
*Extracted from RHIhub.org*
Rural healthcare facilities and communities can help job seekers consider some of the rewards that balance out the challenges of a rural position. Positive aspects of rural practice can include:
-
Rural practitioners can experience a greater sense of mission and accomplishment because they serve in an area of need.
- They may also find they can develop stronger relationships with patients whom they come to know in many other contexts in the community.
-
There are also personal rewards for both providers and their families: a lifestyle that has a slower pace, greater access to the outdoors, and other factors that make rural life an appealing choice.
- A greater sense of practice autonomy
- Opportunities for leadership or preceptorship
-
Opportunities for incentive programs such as loan repayment programs
