The committee is charged with developing a site for rural curriculum. It will include:

· List of medical schools with a rural emphasis/mission

· List of residencies with a rural emphasis/mission

· List of rural fellowships

· Curriculums of medical schools and residencies

· Guidelines for curriculum development

· Rural topic list linked to sections of submitted curriculums

· Rural cases

· Guidelines for rural cases

· Rural lectures

· Guidelines for rural lectures

· Pipeline strategies and stories

· Partnering strategies and stories

(Hopefully a lot of this material will be housed by submittors with a link on our website. The pipeline and partnering will be developed later. In the guidelines of cases and lectures, submittors can ask for review and comment, not formally reviewed.)

Action Steps:

1. Discuss with NRHA (Phillips)

· Sending letter requesting curriculum

· Housing of educational website

- Need to have passworded access to modify

· Or linking to ruralfamilymedicine.org educator section

· Funding from ORHP

· Easiest way to put up lectures for fast download

 

2. Develop letter to medical schools and residencies. Pilot to NARME (Phillips)

3. Develop educational website pages (Phillips)

4. Develop guidelines for curriculum development (Phillips)

5. Develop guidelines for cases (Stenger)

6. Develop guidelines for lectures (Gill)

7. Discuss with Dave Acosta list of curriculums that he had accumulated, pitfalls and suggestions (Gill)

8. Discuss with Jeff Stearns, Rosenblatt's article, list of curriculums that he had accumulated, pitfalls and suggestions and check model division of medical schools (Phillips)

9. Discuss with Randall Longnecker list of Rural Training Tracks (Kalsman)

10. Send draft letter and web page url for review to committee

 

I would add to the action plan to reserve a place at the conference to show the curriculum during the conference. Additions and corrections - please submit to dphillips@siumed.ed

Letter to Residencies (will make up same letter for medical schools except use different models)

The National Rural Health Association's Rural Medical Educators Special Interest Group is creating a collaborative rural curriculum and resource listing. This will become a national resource to further rural medical education and will encourage cooperation and sharing of resources. Please take a moment and go to the rural family medicine website: http://www.ruralfamilymedicine.org. When you open this page click on Rural Educators, then click on the Collaborative Rural Curriculum of Rural Medical Educators of the National Rural Health Association.

This website will include lists of medical schools, residencies, rural curriculum, rural lectures and rural cases. This is a work in progress. As curriculums are always in a state of flux, all stages of curriculums are appreciated.

Please complete and return these forms or give to the correct person in your facility for them to complete. If you do not have a rural emphasis/mission please return to avoid further remailings.

Thank you for your time and effort.
