Student training in the rural and medical underserved settings stresses development of primary care practitioner skills. This practitioner, with limited availability of sophisticated technical and ancillary services, will have the ability to diagnose and formulate a treatment plan based on information gathered through history, physical examination, laboratory and x-ray reports. The rural medicine rotation will increase the knowledge and awareness of multi-cultural health and unique value systems. It should also serve as an introduction to Community Medicine and the health care needs of the underserved population.
