Remote and rural placements occurring during early medical training as a multidimensional place-based medical education experience

M. Ross Brian, Cameron Erin, Greenwood David · 2020 · Educational Research and Reviews

Summary. A medical school in Northern Ontario places second-year students in remote and rural communities for four-week clinical rotations to prepare them for rural practice. The study found that students, instructors, and institutions shared five core educational aims but differed significantly in emphasis and priorities. Students valued clinical training but undervalued community engagement, while teachers prioritized broader place-based learning. The research recommends curricula explicitly address these expectation gaps to improve rural medical education outcomes.
