Problems Facing Rural Healthcare Delivery
• Persistent need for primary care providers and other healthcare
professionals.
• Shortage of medical sub-specialties.
• Existing medical sub-specialties must cover large geographic
areas.
• Patient transportation and access to care.
• Emergency medical services must also cover large geographic
areas.
• Large population without health insurance coverage.
• Lower revenue base.
• Aging hospital facilities.

Why Focus on Primary Care?
“…a greater emphasis on primary care can be expected to
lower the costs of care, improve health through access to
more appropriate services, and reduce the inequities in the
population’s health.” (pg. 458-459)
Source: Starfield, B., L. Shi, and J. Macinko. 2005. “Contribution of Primary Care to Health Systems and Health,”
The Milbank Quarterly. 83(3): 457-502.
“Research studies in countries where patient-physician
relationships focus on primary care consistently show that
people live longer, populations are healthier, patients are
more satisfied with their care and everyone pays less.”

Comments about Primary Care
Gender and Generation
© 2010 Oklahoma State University
“Each generation imagines itself to be more
intelligent than the one that went before it, and
wiser than the one that comes after it.”
George Orwell

Generational Generalizations
• Traditionalists
– Born between 1925 and 1945
– Low-tech, high-touch physicians
– Value professional loyalty and
commitment over personal ambition
– More often have solo practice or
partnership
– Accepted and expected sacrifices to
family life and leisure time
Sources: Baum & Dowling, 2007; Phelan, 2010

Generational Generalizations
• Baby Boomers
– Born between 1946 and 1964
– Career committed but seek lower
personal cost
– Highly autonomous, values over rules,
may not respect authority
– Seek practice models that allow the
benefits of a group with independent
control
Sources: Baum & Dowling, 2007; Phelan, 2010

Generational Generalizations
• Generation X (a.k.a. Gen Xers)
– Born between 1964 and 1980

Specialty Choice by Gender
© 2010 Oklahoma State University
What about the Millennials?
• Sanfey et al. (2006) surveyed 1365 students at nine US
medical schools and concluded that gender and
generation influence decisions to pursue a surgical
specialty
– “I want to enjoy my career; however, I also want to
enjoy my life outside my professional setting. That
includes, for me, having adequate time to pursue
outside interests”
– “I have my priorities straight, so I will make my life
balanced whichever residency I pursue”
