Rural Program Information
The Rural Program was founded in 2005 as an elective track and has
grown to become a core Program of the University of Colorado School
of Medicine in 2021. It was founded with the goal of identifying
students interested in rural practice and providing them with
mentorship, additional knowledge, broad skills and rural
socialization experiences to inform and encourage their interest in
future rural practice. Students apply to the Rural Program as part
of their secondary application to the CU School of Medicine, and
are interviewed by Rural Program faculty and, if accepted for
admission, are invited to join the Rural Program if they have
genuine interest in rural life and work and agree to spend their
core clinical year at a rural site. Approximately 10% of each
medical school class of 184 is enrolled in the Rural Program. The
CU SOM Rural Program is one of about 30 such programs in the U.S.
and is recognized as a national leader.
Beginning in 2021, the CU School of Medicine is launching a major
curriculum revision that shifts all core clinical experience into
the second year and places every student in a longitudinal
integrated clerkship (LIC). Students in the Rural Program serve
their LIC in a rural site to which they move for the year. The
Rural Program team is responsible for establishing those rural LIC
sites, developing the clinical faculty in those sites and
monitoring student progress and evaluating results.
In addition to the core clinical year LIC, the Rural Program team
presents a weekly session of seminars and workshops to Rural
Program students and provides ongoing mentoring, advising and
programming in the first, third and fourth years
The Rural Program team currently consists of three physicians, a
manager and two staff. The position described herein is new and is
being established to fulfill the Rural Program's increased
responsibility for establishing and supporting rural longitudinal
integrated clerkship (LIC) sites and direct student teaching.
Students who have graduated from the Rural Track in the past 16
years enter Family Medicine residency programs at about 5 times the
rate as other CU School of Medicine graduates. About 40% of our
graduates practice in rural communities in multiple specialties
across Colorado and the U.S.
