WWAMI RHRC的核心资金来自卫生资源和服务管理局的农村卫生政策办公室。自20世纪80年代初以来，美国农村普通外科医生数量急剧下降，这引发了农村普通外科医生的危机。1普通外科医生是农村医疗保健系统的重要成员，执行紧急手术，支撑创伤护理系统，支持初级保健提供者，减少农村居民的驾驶时间，2 -5初级保健提供者通常不愿意在没有外科手术支持的地方执业。如果没有外科服务，小医院往往会倒闭，从而减少社区就业，危及当地的医疗保健，并阻碍企业在社区落户。维持充足的普通外科医生供应对于满足我国农村人口老龄化的需求至关重要。
The WWAMI RHRC receives its core funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Office of Rural Health Policy. Issues The dramatic decline in the number of rural general surgeons in the U.S. since the early 1980s has precipitated a crisis in rural general surgery.1 General surgeons are vital members of the rural health care system, performing emergency operations, underpinning the trauma care system, backing up primary care providers, reducing drive time for rural residents, and contributing to the financial viability of small hospitals.2-5 Primary care providers are often unwilling to practice in a location without surgical backup. Without surgical services, small hospitals often fail, which reduces community employment, jeopardizes local health care and discourages businesses from locating in the community. Maintaining an ample supply of general surgeons is essential to meet the needs of our aging rural population.
