Rural-PRIME

"Students at UC Davis will train for rural medicine in a way far different from their predecessors. Our focus combines team medical practice, advanced information and telecommunication technologies and evidence-based medicine, while still recognizing what has always made rural medicine fulfilling and fun: that broad scope of practice, great relationships with patients and the knowledge that you are making a difference."

Thomas Nesbitt, M.D., M.P.H.
Associate Vice Chancellor for
Strategic Technologies and Alliances
UC Davis School of Medicine

"The goal of the UC Davis Rural-PRIME is to prepare future physician leaders for rural practice in California. Our graduates will have an understanding of the unique strengths and needs of rural populations. They will have the skills to provide excellent clinical care to individuals as well as to work collaboratively and creatively to foster healthy rural communities."
