Clinical Rural Immersion

The Clinical Rural Immersion Program gives health care students real-world experience in rural Missouri.

ongoing
Clinical Rural Immersion

This year, students spent two weeks studying rural medicine in Sedalia. To protect students and the Sedalia community against the potential spread of COVID-19, the program was held virtually with modified in-person visits. The project was made possible by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding the MU School of Medicine’s rural medicine programs received. This program is one of many ways that the MU School of Medicine is exposing future health care leaders to learn about rural medicine in the hope of combatting Missouri’s ongoing rural doctor shortage. 


Impact

“I’m from an itty-bitty town called Millersville,” said Jessica Lier, who recently completed her first year at MU School of Medicine. “I have two little brothers that have special needs, and we had to travel often for them to see specialists. I recognized pretty early on that even in semi-rural areas there is a lack of medical resources that people need. I want to be able to help people like my little brothers and maybe practice in those areas.”
