RPAP helps organize opportunities for medical students to job shadow rural physicians. First-year and second-year medical students have an opportunity to shadow a rural physician for all, or part of, a weekend on-call. There are approximately 50 rural sites involved, with up to 100 physicians who are willing to have a medical student shadow them.
Objective
To expose medical students to rural medical practice early and often.
