Mary Aitken, Professor of Pediatrics with the Injury Prevention Center, Arkansas Children's Hospital, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. Education for parents and youth riders of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) has focused on increasing rider use of helmets and other safety equipment, along with reducing other risky behaviors on the vehicles (passengers, road use). Recent focus group and survey data collected by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences ATV research group has led to educational material that is clearer and more practical. Users requested information that demonstrated consequences of risky ATV use and targeted both parents and youth riders. The focus group data also indicated that many users have a very inaccurate perception of ATV risk and stability, thereby reducing the perceived need for use of personal safety equipment. We are therefore working with engineers to develop validated computer models of ATVs to simulate performance with child riders and passengers. Recent speed, inclination and surface simulation models are compelling regarding risk to child riders and riders with passengers, showing ejection and ATV instability even at low speeds (10 mph) in some scenarios. When fully validated, these models may inform educational interventions to provide users with more realistic ATV safety images and motivate individual behavior change. The computer simulations can also highlight where ATV stability and performance may be improved.

• Highest percentage of IMGs in the country at 47%
• Rural - almost 75% IMGs
• 95% from developing countries
• Contrary to the national trend, SK experienced a greater percentage
increase in Canadian trained physicians than IMGs. In fact, SK had fewer
IMGs in 2010 than in 2006 and that trend continues.

47. Establishment Supports
• Financial assistance that is designed to support the physician in
relocation and establishing a new medical practice.
• supports that facilitated transition, specifically, assistance with
site visits and relocation expenses.
• stabilization package that would allow the physician and their
families to settle into the community and stabilize their medical
practice.
• Stakeholders strongly believe that the level of the supports offered
must recognize the rurality of the community and the critical need of
the situation.
48. Establishment Supports
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Develop a provincial points system that can be used to assess the
medical isolation of a rural community and thereby guide the
distribution of supports within the parameters as described
Type of Support Maximum Ownership
Site Visit $5K RHA
Relocation $20K RHA
Housing and Vehicle $8K – 6 months Community
Salary Stabilization $25K SMA
Rural /Regional Practice
Establishment Grant
Total supports $58K
49. Incentives
Stakeholders agreed that:
• Recruitment and retention strategies that rely solely on $ will not be
successful.
• Competitive remuneration, and strategically placed financial
incentives are critical recruitment tools.
• Non-financial factors are the most critical to increase physician
retention.
We discussed:
• Return for service bursaries
• Local youth
• Medical Learners who have worked in the community
• Fair and adequate compensation
50. • Medical learners with positive
experiences in a community will
be more inclined to practice in
that community.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Ensure that regions and
communities are aware of all the
opportunities when medical
learners are in the community.
• Handbook to guide the supports
that could be offered to medical
learners.
• Stakeholders work together to
develop forecasting strategies to
address the accommodation
requirements.
52. Investment Opportunities and
Strategies
Recruitment is competitive and expensive –
therefore strategies that address all of the
motivations of physicians will have a much stronger
impact.
- Professional Issues
- Practice Environment
- Lifestyle
53. Professional Issues
Collegiality, Mentorship and Leadership
• Collegial relationships, mentorship and leadership are not
necessarily inherent.
• Many stakeholder groups are working to provide opportunities
for learning and exposure.
RECOMMENDATION
• Stakeholders continue to work collaboratively on physician
mentorship and leadership.
54. Practice Environment
Overhead / Turnkey / Electronic Medical Records
and Telehealth
• Many communities and regions have invested heavily in
clinic modernization.
• Stakeholders have expressed resistance to further invest.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• saskdocs continue to work with the Ministry of Health and
stakeholders to bring the Primary Care Reform Plan,
• saskdocs develop a survey that will solicit feedback from
medical learners to determine the practice needs of our
new medical graduates. This feedback can then be
shared with our communities, RHAs and NMS.
55. Lifestyle
Reasonable Working Conditions and
Family Supports
• Workload and flexible work arrangements are critical to
retaining physician. Within our own group of medical
learners - there is a fear of rural practice because of the
current inability to balance work, on call and free time.
• Stakeholders agree that support to the family of rural
doctors is critical. When recruiting a physician we are
also recruiting the physician’s spouse or partner and
family.
• When a community is in crisis – workload increases and
pressure is added.
56. Lifestyle
Reasonable Working Conditions and
Family Supports
RECOMMENDATIONS
• saskdocs continue to work stakeholders to ensure
physicians are part of a sustainable practice.
• saskdocs continue to work with the Ministry of Health and
stakeholders to develop a provincial locum strategy.
• saskdocs develop a survey that will solicit feedback from
physicians who have recently established medical practice
in Saskatchewan.
• saskdocs develop a Handbook for utilization by all
stakeholders to facilitate settlement and retention.
57. Conclusion
• Focus on Canadian trainees at home, across
Canada and internationally
• Direct recruitment
• Canada and select international locations
• Ethical recruitment
• Web and social media
• Influence others
• College of Medicine programs
• RHA and SMA recruitment and retention programs
• Community involvement
• Physician practice and experience
