Biology Lecture Series: Rural Medicine:

What does it teach us about a doctor’s role in the community

Rural medicine and the challenges faced gives a rare view of the community as a whole.

It involves more complex chronic conditions as well as rare disorders many don’t see in urban communities. There is a lack of resources and subspecialty care that makes it more challenging but also very rewarding.
