Description
Developing a broad understanding of rural populations and their health-related issues, challenges and determinants is important for all physicians but is especially needed for those who intend to enter a rural or underserved practice. Designed to complement MDID 6500 – Introduction to Population Health in the Rural United States, this course will expound upon the foundation of knowledge, attitudes and opinions that are essential to contextualize subsequent and more advanced rural health education. However, this course has no prerequisite requirements and can be completed by any medical student who desires to explore rural and underserved medicine and health care.
