Abstract: This study investigates the role of leadership in addressing workforce shortages and improving healthcare accessibility in rural areas through a bibliometric analysis. Utilizing data from Scopus and Web of Science, the study identifies critical themes, including leadership's impact on workforce retention, the integration of telemedicine, and the role of policy and academic-practice partnerships. Despite limited literature focused on rural settings, the analysis highlights leadership as a important factor in overcoming barriers such as geographic isolation, resource scarcity, and workforce attrition. This highlights the necessity for a approach that combines strategic leadership, technological advancements, and equitable policy-making to build resilient healthcare systems in underserved areas.
