Rural Training
The rural settings that are part of the core rotation in the second year and
elective rotations in the third year are viable, vital components of their respective
communities with well-trained family physicians who serve both as teachers and
mentors. Residents may choose to commute daily to the St. Croix Regional Medical
Center site or to temporarily live in the Long Prairie and New Ulm communities
during their rotation. The program also welcomes identifying additional sites for consideration.
