Texas A & M University College of Medicine – Rural Medicine Program

In 2019, Texas A&M College of Medicine embarked on an initiative to focus on rural medicine disparities given our history as a Land Grant University and our Medical School Charter for Rural Medicine.

The College of Medicine's goal is to bring health care where it's needed most with a keen focus on rural populations and innovative care delivery, with an outcome to eliminate a healthcare provider shortage in rural Texas.

The tenets of the program are:

  • Improving the health of rural populations in Texas through access and innovative care delivery.
  • Developing a sustainable Rural / Primary Care Medicine tract for Texas A&M College of Medicine Medical Students.
  • Growing Rural sites for clinical rotations to expose students to Rural Medicine.
    Providing transformational learning experiences for students while improving rural populations' access to healthcare.
  • Gaining buy-in from Community and government leaders to ensure we gain local input and feedback to respond to student evaluations.
  • Increase education and thus awareness in rural high schools about opportunities in medicine and attract rural students to pursue a healthcare career tract through this exposure.
