Rural Training Track Accredited Program Curriculum
The Richard G. Lugar Center for Rural Health (formerly Midwest Center for Rural Health) supports the accredited
rural track component of the Union Hospital Family Medicine Residency
program. The Lugar Center’s program strategy is based on the ideal combination of
factors. By recruiting residents who have rural backgrounds or experience,
training them in the details of rural health practice, and then assisting
them in establishing practices, sustains and improves rural health care
delivery systems on a long-term basis. The program is built on three key principles: (1) the
Rural Training Track, a specially designed, hands-on curriculum for future rural
health providers, (2) an understanding of how to incorporate computer and communications technology to support rural practices, and (3) a commitment
to a multidisciplinary team approach to providing health care, with the
team consisting of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician
assistants, mental health providers, public health providers, allied
health professionals and local communities.
Residency faculty developed an innovative approach to some of rural America's health care problems.
