Medical Student Rural Site Opportunities

The students spend eight weeks in one of these rural sites, working one-on-one with a family medicine physician, with an emphasis on family and community medicine.

This outstanding opportunity serves to coalesce prior specialty training into a humanistic, comprehensive experience and is one of the definitive hallmarks of the UP experience.
