Responsibilities include seeing patients in the office of board-certified practicing physicians in Potosi and in helping with preventive outreach efforts, especially breast and cervical cancer screening and healthy children and youth screens. A year- round housing option is the Bust Bed and Breakfast in Potosi. A late spring, summer, and early fall option is the YMCA's Trout Lodge of the Ozarks, located 12 miles from Potosi. Winter is not recommended because ice and snow will prohibit travel to and from the Lodge. Hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, horseback riding are available.
Students are responsible for purchasing food with either housing arrangement.
The amount of the Mid-MO AHEC subsidy is being negotiated. No student may drop this elective within the last 45 days preceding the beginning of the elective period. Students are expected to contact one of the elective coordinators two weeks prior to the beginning of the elective to arrange an orientation to Potosi.
