Student Opinions on a Rural Placement Program for Dental Undergraduates

The value of undergraduate rural medical placements is now funded and established as a rural workforce strategy. Will the same strategy improve the distribution of dentists to Australian rural areas? This study from New South Wales, "Student opinions on a rural placement program in New South Wales, Australia", published in the journal 'Rural and Remote Health' reviews local and international evidence to date, and adds to it with information from a 2009 study of dental undergraduates.
