Rural Residency

The number of new physicians going into primary care has been declining over the past several years. This national trend is placing a substantial burden on rural Nevada communities as they struggle to provide adequate medical services. As a long-term solution, High Sierra Area Health Education Center has partnered with the University of Nevada School of Medicine’s Department of Family and Community Medicine in Las Vegas to establish a program for family medicine residents to complete their final two years of residency training in Fallon, Nevada. Start-up for this project is in 2008, and new residents are expected to begin their medical residency in July 2009

The project is supported by evidence that medical residents are likely to practice within a hundred miles of their medical residency training site. By immersing a resident in a rural-based residency program, the opportunity will present itself for the resident to develop deep bonds with the community and remain on a permanent basis after residency is completed.
