Content Summary


This editorial questions the competence of new family practice graduates to work in rural settings, particularly in emergency departments. It critiques the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario's stance on the need for additional training and highlights the lack of evidence supporting this requirement. The piece calls for a reevaluation of training programs to ensure graduates are prepared for rural practice.
