Rural Track Program
Family Medicine

The Rural Training Track (RTT) is a program conceived and developed by the Department of Family Medicine. Based on the concept that residents tend to practice within 100 miles of where they train, a network was developed to have Family Medicine residents train at key sites across the state of Nebraska.

Program residents spend their first year of training in the Department of Family Medicine at UNMC in Omaha and two years at their rural training site. Resident planning to practice in rural Nebraska benefit from this unique training program including:

  • Small program size with 1-2 second year and 1-2 third year residents at each site
  • Practice in a continuity clinic
  • Train in a smaller, underserved rural community
