Acosta, David A.

Journal of Rural Health, v16 n3 p254-61 Sum 2000

A survey of 53 obstetrical and rural fellowship programs found that graduates of rural health fellowships were more likely to locate in rural areas. Almost all graduates from obstetrical and rural health programs attained general hospital privileges in family practice and low-risk obstetrics, and a significant number attained privileges in high-risk and operative obstetrics.
