Experiences of working as early career allied health professionals and doctors in rural and remote environments: a qualitative systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maintaining a health professional workforce in rural and remote areas poses a significant challenge internationally. A range of recruitment and retention strategies have had varying success and these are  generally developed from the collective experience of all health professions, rather than targeted to professional groups with differing educational and support contexts. This review explores, compares and synthesises the evidence examining the experience of early career rural and remote allied health professionals and doctors to better understand both the profession specific, and common factors that influence their experience.

Methods

Qualitative studies that include early career allied health professionals' or doctors' experiences of working in rural or remote
