Content Summary
This article investigates whether confidence in procedural skills influences family medicine residents' choice of practice location. The study finds no direct link between confidence and location choice but notes that residents with rural training are more likely to choose rural practice locations. The findings support increasing rural training opportunities to encourage more residents to practice in rural areas.
