Fulfilling a social mission: examining practice locations of residency graduates over two decades
This study demonstrates the important regional impact of the university's role in training family physicians and addressing healthcare needs in Quebec. The findings suggest the importance of tracking to inform evidence-based workforce planning and policy development. Medical schools can leverage such data to align training programs with societal health needs and enhance their contributions to regional healthcare systems.
