Rural Clinical Experiences

RUUTE rural clinical experiences allow community physicians to mentor medical students during rural electives and clerkships. These experiences provide students with hands-on clinical training while helping them explore careers in rural and underserved communities.

What Rural Clinical Experiences look like:

• Students participate in clinical care alongside community physicians
• Rotations may range from 2 - 4 week experiences
• Students work with patients, assist in procedures, and learn about rural healthcare delivery
