Editorial
Abstract
The Editorial of the first issue of the journal Salud Rural explained the difficulties that rural health practice must overcome: the deficit in professional training and the lack of emphasis that universities throughout the world give to rural medical practice. (1)
In most countries, medical school graduates are not prepared for the challenges that await them in rural practice. Relationships with patients, allied rural health personnel, and communities are particularly challenging in rural areas of the first world where only 20% of professionals have experience in rural areas. This challenge is greater for universities that train professionals in countries where there is a compulsory rural service faced by all their graduates at the beginning of their careers. This is a "non-formative" experience, which is one year of obligatory rural medicine. (2. 3. 4. 5)
