GingersHuman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Great article, thanks for sharing! I really want to go into rural medicine, but I'm thinking more of a comprehensive primary care approach (using my elective rotations to help me learn more with the expectation that my patients will have very reduced access to specialists - such as extra ob, cardio, derm, etc?? just ideas). I live on and manage a small farm now, but have been working in an inner city ED and EMS system for three years and am pretty confident that I want, well, exactly the opposite :wink:. I have a very long way to go (I'll just be starting school this fall!) so I'm staying open minded and just want to become the best provider possible, yet at the same time stay true to myself about the kind of life that I want for myself. I can only imagine, though, that a rural ED sees much different cases & patients than an urban one LOL so maybe I'll enjoy it more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 3, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have worked mostly in urban trauma ctrs for the past 15+ yrs and am trying to transition to more rural/critical access type practice. I love working in smaller ed's. I do so 1 weekend/mo at a place 3 hrs from my home in a large metro area and today just applied for another rural position. rural em is great because you can practice to the full measure of your skills and experience instead of being relegated to a fast track where you end up bored and using maybe 50% of your skills.
