Abstract
There is strong international evidence that students of rural origin, and those who intend to practise rural medicine, are more likely to practise in rural settings after graduation.2 The purpose of this study was to survey final-year medical students about their career plans and the influences on those plans, to ascertain implications for the future training of doctors in South Africa.
