Factors Influencing Rural Physician Retention Following Completion of a Rural Training Track Family Medicine Residency Program.

CONCLUSION: Rural Training Track alumni physicians in our study found similar factors important to rural retention when compared to other rural physicians in the United States reported in the literature, regardless of residency background. These factors continue to be important to shape retention strategies employed by rural health care systems; future studies should evaluate rural retention strategies that utilize these factors.
