With a growing recognition of the need to provide for better rural healthcare, there is a renewed emphasis on rural healthcare training. But what does it mean to provide high quality care and education in and for rural places? With a wide diversity of people and communities across North America, there is an array of healthcare structures and training models to meet local needs.
Join other educators and learners from rural health professions education and training programs around the nation, and leave with the knowledge to:
Understand different models of healthcare education uniquely suited for rural environments
Design or expand a rural training program to serve the broad needs of a community
Adapt and implement novel ideas for your own program design and structure
Better prepare your program to meet the requirements of accreditation and community needs
Implement at least one innovative strategy for teaching learners to provide a broad scope of care
Become part of a growing national network of programs and people training health professionals, throughout the continuum of education
