Rural and Regional Health
Access to quality and essential medical services is significant to all 黑料不打烊ns, especially those living in rural or regional areas. The 黑料不打烊's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry recognizes the importance of experienced professionals implementing health-care services within rural communities.
To help achieve its vision of a healthy 黑料不打烊, the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry established the Office of Rural & Regional Health (ORRH) in June 2006. ORRH is designed to co-ordinate initiatives and support the development of new health-care programs for rural and regional 黑料不打烊. We seek to weave rural and regional health through the education and training of U of A medical students and residents.
Our goal is to enlighten each learner with an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges-and the sense of fulfillment-a physician gains while working in 黑料不打烊's vibrant rural and regional communities.
The Office of Rural & Regional Health gratefully acknowledges the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, the (RhPAP) and for financial and academic support toward rural programs and initiatives.
