Put simply, what happened to these rural-origin students before the rural programmes existed?
In South Africa, a study also found that rural-origin medical students were more likely to choose rural careers than urban-origin students.
Compared with 1999 (OR = 1), the ORs for taking soft drinks in 2001 were 1.1 (95% CI 0.8 1.4) and 2.0 (95% CI 1.4 2.9) among urban and rural-origin students, respectively.
So a strategy that only recruits rural-origin students is a less than optimal way to augment supply to remote areas of practice.
Very few rural origin students were of NE or SE Asia region of origin (approximately 3%) and so a substantial component of the fall in NE or SE Asia region of origin students selected for the course was a direct result of the gradual imposition of a 25% rural quota.
A previous study of new HIV diagnoses between 1985 and 1997 suggest over representation of those of non-UK origin, students and prisoners in those discontinuing care within region [ 20].
This study compared the origin, student source, duration, and curriculum design of TCM higher education programs in China and five Western countries.
The purpose of this study was to identify errors and their origins when students did calculations in derivatives of trigonometric functions.
But consistent findings were found in the study entitled "Do south African rural origin medical students return to rural practice?" which revealed that more than 40% of the rural-origin graduates were in rural practice compared to 5% of the urban-origin graduates [ 16].
In addition, we offer examples of classroom strategies that have been proposed as potentially useful for either preventing student resistance from happening altogether or addressing student resistance after it occurs, some of which align well with findings from research on the origins of student resistance.
