review was performed with the purpose to evaluate the impact of
different strategies and interventions like selection criteria
for medical school, education, coercion, incentives and support
to reduce the shortages of health care workers in rural and
remote areas for equitable health care delivery.  This paper
recognizes the lack of evidence of impact of different
interventions, and suggests an urgent need to evaluate the
impact of interventions in a scientifically rigorous fashion in
order to identify successful strategies for guiding future
practice and policy.
