Content Summary
This article explores a shared-call group system for obstetrical care in rural communities. The study finds high patient satisfaction and suggests that such a system can improve the lifestyle of rural physicians while maintaining obstetrical outcomes. The model is presented as a potential solution to the decline in rural obstetrical services.
