RuralMed Electronic Mailing List
Welcome to RURALMED, a forum for rural physicians, and about rural medicine. This mailing list was started in 1995 as an initiative of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada. It is an attempt to create a network of physicians in rural practice, as well as others in universities or elsewhere with an interest in rural medicine. Although RURALMED has a Canadian focus, international participants are also welcome. Its purpose is to support rural practitioners, whether they be rural GP/FPs or rural specialists, by providing a forum for discussion, debate, and the exchange of ideas and information.
