In the health sector, encouraging graduates to consider rural practice is critical to growing the non-urban health workforce. Rural placements are generally associated with better opportunities for hands-on learning, more attention from supervisors and more autonomy. Research suggests that ‘positive, well supervised and supportive rural placements’ positively impact on student intentions to practise in rural locations.
