Does rural generalist focused medical school and family medicine training make a difference? Memorial University of Newfoundland outcomes.

CONCLUSION: This study found Memorial University graduates were more likely to establish practice in rural areas compared with the national average for most program types as well as more likely to establish practice in NL compared with other single medical schools' graduates in their provinces. This study highlights the impact a comprehensive rural-focused social accountability approach can have at supplying the needs of a population both at the regional and rural national levels.
