They are sometimes pushed to the limits of their usual scope of practice to provide the medical care needed by their community. In a previous phenomenological study, we described the concept of clinical courage as underpinning rural doctors\u2019 work in this context. In this paper, we draw on rural doctors\u2019 experiences during the unfolding COVID pandemic to re-examine our understanding of the attributes of clinical courage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Semi-structured interviews were conducted with rural doctors from 11 countries who had experience preparing for or managing patients with COVID-19.
