Purpose: The global health workforce suffers long-term understaffing in remote and underserved areas. To attract young doctors for rural work, it is necessary to identify the main motivating factors.
Materials And Methods: The pilot survey with 201 general practitioner trainees in the Czech Republic was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The response rate was 67%.
Results: Not only financial support motivates general practitioner trainees for rural work. A combination of incentives from sources other than medical would greatly increase the chance for general practitioner trainees to work in rural regions.
Conclusions: To what extent can the survey outcomes relate with other European regions needs to be investigated further.

Department of Research and Development, Ciro, Horn, The Netherlands.
Background: Pharmacological treatment is a cornerstone of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management, with general practitioners providing the most care. However, the lack of data on prescribing trends in initial pharmacotherapy in primary care hinders the understanding of how scientific and technical developments impact patient care and may also perpetuate suboptimal practices. Hence, this study aims to analyze trends in the initial pharmacological treatment of newly diagnosed COPD patients in Dutch primary care from 2010 to 2021.

To mitigate opioid-related harm, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) advocates for the use of non-opioid analgesics and minimal opioid prescriptions.
