| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To identify what changes should be made in the University of British Columbia's rural family practice training program curriculum to help graduates be better prepared to practice. DESIGN: Two cross-sectional surveys via mailed questionnaires: one designed to measure physicians' self-reported preparedness for practice and the other to measure the importance of various rural family medicine components. SETTING: Rural training program graduates and preceptors representing rural communities in British Columbia. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-nine graduates of the rural training program between 1982 and 1991 and 14 community-based rural training program preceptors representing eight communities throughout the province participated in this study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Percentage of graduates of the rural program who reported themselves to be underprepared on each family practice item and preceptors' mean scores for the attributed importance to rural practice of each item on this questionnaire. RESULTS: A list of curriculum areas most in need of reform was created. This list included trauma, counseling skills, radiology, vacuum extraction, fracture care, exercising community leadership, cost-effective use of diagnostic tests, using community health resources, obtaining hospital privileges, ophthalmology, dermatology, otolaryngology, personal and professional growth, relationships with other physicians, and personnel issues. CONCLUSIONS: Using both the level of graduates' self-reported underpreparedness and the attributed importance of elements of rural practice, as indicated by the preceptor survey, we developed a list of the areas of the rural training program curriculum most in need of reform. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
