This site is intended to provide rural preceptors with the resources and information that they require for teaching medical students and residents in a rural clinic setting.

ORRH Mission

The Office of Rural & Regional Health is committed to integrating rural and regional health care training into the medical education of Alberta’s future physicians.

Vision:

  • We strive to weave rural and regional health through all that the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry does.
  • We will co-ordinate current initiatives and support the development of innovative new programs in distributed medical education.
  • We will collaborate with other organizations involved in rural and regional health and with rural and regional communities, both of which are important in the development, delivery and maintenance of programs and initiatives.
