Clearly the secret behind every innovative rural medical education program is innovative faculty and coordinators. Some rural faculty have been pioneers, blazing new programs, and clearing major obstacles. Most have looked at existing programs and research and have adapted their own efforts based on these.

Even more important is rural visits to guide your studies and adapt your efforts to the people that you hope to serve.
