Provision of obstetric care in the United States requires the capacity to perform cesarean sections. It is unknown who actually performs these procedures in rural hospitals and whether nonobstetricians feel comfortable performing cesarean sections. ⋯ Cesarean sections remain an important service in those rural hospitals providing obstetric services. Most Washington State rural hospitals depend on family physicians for this operative intervention. Physicians' comfort in doing cesarean sections appears to be closely related to prior formal training during residency. This relationship suggests that training programs preparing future rural physicians need to ensure adequate training in this area for their residents.
