1) The document discusses a study analyzing changes in demographics and attitudes of medical students towards a rural longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) program over time. 2) Initial concerns about the personal implications of moving for the rural LIC were validated, though program responses aimed to provide more education, support and flexibility. 3) A comparison of student attitudes in 2009, 2010 and 2015 found that more recent classes were more positively inclined towards rural LICs, non-metro origins predicted greater interest, and interest in family medicine strongly predicted interest in rural LICs.
