Rural Clinical Experiences
At the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at University of Utah, students can participate in clinical experiences, such as traditional clerkships, elective experiences, and LIC's. Clinical experiences offer students an opportunity to learn about and explore different specialties in medicine and include the students as members of the health care team. RUUTE helps to facilitate clinical experiences in rural and underserved areas throughout Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
Please contact Heather VanOostendorp (Heather.Vano@hsc.utah.edu) for additional details. For additional information regarding rural clinical experiences, check out our student testimonial page.
