Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted on six physicians who worked on remote islands. The Steps for Coding and Theorization method was used to analyze the content of the interviews. Results Twelve concepts were generated and categorized into four themes: solo practice, the tight-knit community, limited human and medical resources, and future career.
