Exploring healthcare provider retention in a rural and frontier community in Northern Idaho

CONCLUSION: Our study identified multiple factors that healthcare providers deemed as important advantages or disadvantages to retaining healthcare providers in rural areas. Overall, facility and community support factors were found to have the highest advantage in the retention of rural providers. Rural healthcare organizations looking to increase healthcare provider retention should target retention efforts towards these factors. Additional research should also be conducted on other rural samples across the U.S. to make comparisons of findings.PMID:38539177 | PMC:PMC10976735 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-024-10807-5
