Student Experience

"I think working in a rural setting is a great experience that everyone should try. It's definitely a different approach to medicine and is a useful learning experience, as we are often referred patients from rural settings when practicing in academic settings, and it is helpful to know what they are capable of doing and what their limitations are before seeing them."

"The clinic itself was fantastic and I got excellent experience that I don't think I would have got elsewhere. I was able to see my own patients, do my own procedures and make my own clinical decisions"

"Working one on one with a physician provided me with ample opportunities to be first assist as well as multiple opportunities to practice suturing and tying skills. The physician would take the time to go through different topics and was patient in his approach to teaching."

"Excellent rotation. Abundance of hands on clinical work. Very positive work environment."

"Great rotation! Such a nice community to work in. Everyone was very welcoming and happy to have students. I will definitely be recommending this rotation."

"Everything was great. Absolutevery enjoyable learning experience."

"My rural location allowed me quite a bit of hands on and a lot of variation in clinical experiences - I would highly recommend a rural placement for this rotation!"
