Need Doctors in
Rural Communities
Here’s a tip for the rural community that doesn’t have a physician and wants one: “Look for an MD who grew up in a small community, perhaps even in the same part of the country,” suggests the current AMA UPDATE (July-August). Some 132 rural counties in 26 states are presently without a nonfederal physician. “Paradoxically, most MD’s who liye and practice in rural areas enjoy their work,” says Dr. Bond L, Bible, secretary of AMA’s Council on Rural Health. “Once he has established his practice there, a doctor isn’t likely to leave.”
Nearly half the physicians polled in a Council survey who were practicing in towns smaller than 2500 said they were brought up in a small town, Dr. Bible says.
AMA is helping small communities solve their medical care problems in several ways. The Association’s Physicians’ Placement Service helps communities find a doctor, and vice versa.
