Dear David:

What an excellent idea by the University Of Alberta Medical Faculty David. Sending medical students on temporary assignment II smaller rural settings with the hope they'll stay rural & want II practice IV a long time, even their whole career to solve the Dr. shortage. This is superb. How will medical folks know how great rural Albertans are unless they see it & live it (rural Alberta) live.
