Then you need to look at the incidence of the bread and butter issues of a specific specialty.  Also consider that family medicine (and general internal medicine and general pediatrics) will treat uncomplicated cases of common conditions (e.g. arthritis, infections, asthma, depression, sports injuries, diabetes, etc etc).  Will there be enough demand for a specific specialty to justify establishing an office in that area?  Hospitals know what the demands are in their area and will recruit to meet a need in their community.  It is far too early to be thinking about this.... better something to look into after 3rd year of med school.And btw, the population of Temple TX is over 70,000 so it would not meet my definition of rural by any stretch of the imagination.</blockquote>
