At each of the sites, there also is the opportunity to take fourth-year electives. During the second year, students are informed about the Rural Track Program. The application process is explained and information is distributed. The application requires a summary of the student's personal and educational background and interest. Selection for the Rural Track Program is based on academic performance, clinical skills and interest in rural practice.
Enrollment is limited.
The process for student evaluation is similar to the process used at the School of Medicine. The assignment of grades and credit resides with the School of Medicine and the clinical departments.
