There is this misconception that rural medicine is for those who are low on the ladder and not stellar academically. As for the bottom of the class I do not know what that is as I neve was there. From graduating number one in my High School for Advanced Placement, to being the top male Graduate at my University, to finishing in the top of my Medical School Class the bottom was never seen. Even though we do not have a Higher Education facility in the county and not everyone has Internet Access, the richness of personal experience, knowledge of the land and survival, creativity, and just the shear beauty of the countryside makes everyday a rich experience.
