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.
