Editor's preface Mot du rédacteur en chef Couverture : On se demande souvent ce qui incite les médecins à vouloir exercer en milieu rural. Une nouvelle étude indique que les personnes originaires de la campagne sont davantage portées à vouloir y travailler (page 1159). Un éditorial d'accompagnement examine comment cette constatation pourrait offrir des pistes de solutions à long terme pour combler la pénurie de médecins ruraux (page 1173).
