COSAM's Commitment to the Student Experience – Rural Medicine Students

“Through experiences that I have encountered with my own family, my shadowing of rural physicians, and my own research; I have realized that with each passing year there are fewer physicians practicing in rural areas, and fewer medical students that are interested in returning to rural areas to practice,” Foster said. “Patients are beginning to have to travel upwards of 30-45 minutes just to see their family doctor, and for some individuals, this just isn’t feasible. My fellow RMP students and I have recognized this issue, and hope to do as much as we can to mitigate it once we finish our residencies. I also enjoy the rural lifestyle. I come from a tight knit community, and I truly appreciate the close relationships that you can develop with people in less populated areas. These are just a couple of reasons that cemented my decision to pursue a career in rural primary care.”
