Rural Track
The University of Colorado School of Medicine has created a track to encourage
and support rural practice. This track identifies students interested in rural
practice and provides them with mentorship, additional knowledge, broad skills,
and rural socialization experiences. The ultimate goal of the track is to increase
the number of students who eventually enter, and remain, in practice in rural
Colorado.
The Rural Track is directed by Dr. Mark Deutchman,
with assistance from Associate Dean of Rural Health Jack Westfall,
both faculty in the Department of Family Medicine (and pictured to the right).
