Compared to Australia, substantial rural‐based clinical education in New Zealand started small and still has some way to go if it is to fulfil its potential in workforce retention and recruitment to under‐served areas. The authors share some of their experiences in rural medical education and then speculate on how it could develop. They discuss the merits of a clinical school composed of a dispersed network of rural sites, which provide and coordinate rural health education.
