outskirts Explanation: This person might have been working in the outskirts of a town. Outskirts would refer to a geographical location in this context. He/she might also acquire a clinic that provides out-patient services (e.g. a private clinic or a stake in a ONG). In this case it might be better to describe it as ...An out-patient clinic in the periphery (or outskirts) of town |

rural social service Explanation: On second thoughts, it is likely the second answer is more correect than my first suggestion. Often medics have to do a 'rural service' or 'social service'. They spend 6-12 months in the rural areas practicing medicine as junior doctos. |

Medically Underserved Population Living in the Outskirts of Barcelos Explanation: Barcelos, city mentioned in the source text is a 129,000 inhabitant city in Amapá (Northern Brazil). Therefore both the nuances of *remote* and *outskirts* are present, although outskirts is stronger, IMHO, due to the size of the city. In truth, Donna's answer, is the truth behind the words. Periferias are usually medically underserved areas in Brazil, sometimes quite urbanized, sometimes semi-rural (Barcelos'periferia is probably semi-rural, I should think). To add to the confusion, I very much doubt that the public health care system in downtown Barcelos can be classified as abundant. Also note, you can't go with suburban here, at least for a US audience because it's exactly the opposite thing here in Brazil. The periferia is where the poor people live, unlike the rich suburbs of the US. I would like to propose: Medically Underserved Population living in the Outskirts of Barcellos. It's long but none of the aspects are overlooked and it's vague enough to accomodate both urbanized and semi-rural areas. Minha pr�pria cabecinha |
