Comparing Resident Procedures in Rural Versus Urban Emergency Departments.

Background: Rural rotations can be a valuable experience for emergency medicine (EM) residents. To date, there has not been a retrospective cohort study comparing procedures performed at urban versus rural emergency departments (EDs).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare procedures performed by EM residents in urban versus rural EDs, with the hypothesis that there will be no significant difference in the procedures performed.
