Social network analysis of rural medical networks after medical school immersion in a rural clinical school.

We apply this method to examine the workforce characteristics of graduates from a representative Australian Rural Clinical School.

Is Western Australia's rural surgical workforce going to sustain the future? A quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Objective Despite public interest in the rural workforce, there are few published data on the geographical distribution of Australia's rural surgeons, their practice skill set, career stage or work-life balance (on-call burden). Similarly, there has not been a peer-reviewed skills audit of rural training opportunities for surgical trainees. The present study undertook this baseline assessment for Western Australia (WA), which has some of the most remote practice areas in Australia.
