The Rural Family Medicine with Obstetrics Fellowship is a one-year experience designed for family medicine physicians who plan to work in a rural setting. The program was established in 1989 and was the first of its kind in the U.S. It is specifically designed to offer fellows the opportunity to build on their prior residency training and enhance both their cognitive and technical skills in preparation for rural practice. The structure of the curriculum is flexible enough to cater to individual needs. We welcome both recent residency graduates and physicians with practice experience.
The fellowship does not lead to additional board certification or a Certificate of Added Qualification. It does provide needed training and experience for FPs who plan to care for a rural population with limited access to health care services. We emphasize expanded scope obstetrics including cesarean sections.
We believe every fellow who completes this program will achieve the confidence and competence needed to be successful practicing family medicine in a rural community.
