The Rural Family Medicine Residency program trains our residents to provide the highest quality of medical care to rural and underserved communities. Our mission of guiding the training of the next generation of exceptional family physicians is supported by three core pillars.

Service to Our Communities of Practice: Our program ensures timely access to care for the patients we serve and trains our residents to bring that care to the communities where they will ultimately practice.

Quality Education in an Integrated Environment: Our program provides state-of-the-art education for residents in an integrated, multidisciplinary environment. Faculty are responsible for teaching, engaging in clinical research and providing the highest level of healthcare for local patients.

A Strong Foundation of Scholarly Activity: Our program recognizes that medical education must be built on a strong scientific foundation. Our faculty and residents actively perform scientific research projects and scholarly work for the purpose of improving well-being and reducing the burden of illness in rural and underserved communities.
