Rural Preceptorship
Rural Preceptorship Manual (PDF)
The goal of this required course is to immerse students in primary care as practiced in a setting distant from immediate access to a tertiary care center. The focus is on the following themes:
- Development of autonomy dealing with common and serious conditions in a rural primary care
- Exploration of roles played by physicians in the community
- Service learning particularly as applied to rural underserved care
- Understanding referral and consultation relationships in a rural environment
