This article describes how one rural home health agency collaborated with a school of medicine to integrate medical education into the daily operations of the agency. Noteworthy aspects of this project include integration of home care concepts at all levels of the medical school curriculum, use of an advanced practice nurse to coordinate the program, collaboration between the home health agency and the schools of medicine and nursing, and reliance on telecommunication technology to minimize the barriers related to transportation to and scheduling of physician visits.

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a 4-day rural placement in Western Australia on the interest of fourth year medical students in a career in rural general practice. Students undertaking their Alternative Curricular Options in Rural Networks attachment (ACORNS) completed pre- and post-questionnaires examining their expectations, experiences of, and attitudes to rural general practice. Of the 103 students who participated, 81% expressed an interest in a rural career after the placement, whereas prior to this experience only 48% had been interested. The students also recorded a wide range of learning experiences, both clinical and procedural, and expressed positive attitudes to the variety of experiences and the role of the rural GP. The study concluded that early exposure to rural general practice enhances students' interest in a potential rural practice career and provides them with a broad range of experiences. The role of rural practitioners as role models for students needs to be acknowledged and reinforced.

Reports in the literature that describe the use of prepaid settings for medical education are typically anecdotal. Synthesis of this information was accomplished using the case survey method, an approach that uses a common conceptual framework to combine case studies. A total of 18 references published between 1973 and 1986, describing the educational activities in 12 HMOs, were identified. Each reference was analyzed using a checklist composed of forced-choice items grouped into five categories: classification of HMO, type and extent of teaching program, organizational relationship between HMO and medical school, "scholarly" focus of HMO, and involvement of trainees in monitoring resource utilization. Many gaps were identified in the literature, especially those related to the mechanisms of financing the educational program and the types of organizational linkages between the medical school and the HMO. These gaps indicate the need for more systematic research to aid planners of future educational programs.
