Psychopharmacology training is provided and in-hospital issues such as delirium and competency are addressed. The faculty works with each resident to develop further skill in interviewing and counseling technique. Regularly scheduled didactic sessions provide for enhancement of core knowledge and competency in clinical care.

This is a unique opportunity to experience truly rural practice in a small town and work with a multidisciplinary health agency.
Supervision is provided on-site by local physicians.
Local accommodations are provided through our Area Health Education Center grant.
