“Massachusetts is often thought of as urban because of the dense concentration of people living in Boston, suburban metro-Boston, and our eastern industrial cities. But, much of Massachusetts is comprised of small towns spread across former small mill towns, and rural coastal villages and Island communities. For health care professionals working in rural and underserved areas, Massachusetts offers access to state-of-the-art medicine at several of the world’s leading medical schools, teaching hospitals and medical research centers.”
