Medical students’ intentions to practise in rural areas
Abstract
To the editor: In response to the article by Van Wyk et al regarding medical students’ intentions to practise in rural areas,1 a number of limitations of the study need to be pointed out which were overlooked by the authors. Firstly, the choice of an arbitrary definition of rural origin without reference to previous studies, contradicts one of the stated aims of the study which was to “compare the findings of other national and international studies”.
