urban/ rural / community setting? - iamadoctor
#1
Hi,
I am in the process of making my PS for pediatrics.
1)I wanted to know if i mention that i would want to work in an urban based program would that affect my to be interviewed by rural/ community programs
2)I am sorry for being so ignorant but is there any difference between a community program or urban based program or are they the same?
3) Are majority of hospital in urban areas?

I just know that urban programs tend to offer more diversity of patients and sicker patients which is where i am sure everybody wants to work . Please help me understand.

If your aim is to practice in an urban setting...then a PD of a rural family medicine program will wonder if the training will match your goals. Defining your career goal isnt gonna give u any extra points...so i suggest u rather be vague....using words like "underserved communities" "vulnerable population" etc

Community means community...it can either be urban or rural. Sometime pple compare a community based training to a tertiary/uiversity training that incorporates a lot of research and subspeciality training.

Urban training is being trained to practice medicine in an urban or big city setting. While some family medicine programs are bsed in rural settings that teach u to take cre of patients with limited resources
