OpinionWorks has conducted a national survey of general surgeons practicing in rural areas for the James Mithoefer Center for Rural Surgery, based in Upstate New York. This survey is the first of its kind, examining the background, training, working conditions, and challenges of surgeons who have chosen to practice in the most rural and underserved areas of the United States, and comparing those to their urban counterparts.


We are proud to have contributed the field research for this important study that has recently been published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. The Mithoefer Center is dedicated to improving access to health care in rural areas by training and advocating for rural surgeons.
