This section briefly describes the administrative needs of rural health services delivery entities, especially hospitals. It then reviews the educational processes in which health administrators are trained, with a focus on changes that have emerged during the 1980s. The final section examines the extent to which the educational programs are consistent with the needs of rural environments, and provides some suggested strategies for the coming decade.
