Medical Education Beyond Beirut: A Qualitative Study of Rural Training in Lebanon
Future initiatives should address existing obstacles to establish a sustainable and equitable healthcare system nationwide. While limited by a small sample size and the qualitative scope, this research can serve as a foundation to create a model for improving medical education and healthcare delivery in rural areas, in Lebanon, the Arab region, and other low- and middle-income countries facing similar challenges.
