Midwest Retention Toolkit 21 November 2012 This toolkit includes worksheets, sample surveys, agendas, and plans that may be utilized with primary care and psychiatric physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, mental health providers, dentists and dental hygienists, although many of the samples are based on physician retention. The tools ensure they are properly orientated to the practice, integrated into the community along with their family and recognized for their service and impact on local health care. The toolkit also features a national resource section with websites and contact information. This document was created by The National Rural Health Resource Center and the National Rural Recruitment and Retention Network under contracts from the Indiana State Department of Health; Minnesota Department of Health, Office of Rural Health and Primary Care; and Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Public Health.
