Recognition for Rural Graduation Rate
Aware of the need to highlight and expand the visibility of the rural physician training community and wishing to provide students with information relevant to their training for rural practice, the RMTC Board has chosen to recognize in a special way both rurally-located and rurally-focused programs in any specialty who have a history of placing graduates in rural community practice. Any program can be recognized for their percentage of graduates on a 3-year rolling average who have established an initial place of practice in a rural community and/or are in rural practice 3 years following graduation.
This year, The Rural Medical Training Collaborative is recognizing both rural and urban programs that produce graduates for rural practice.
Your program qualifies if on a 3 year rolling average (2021, 2022, 2023) you have produced >35% of your graduates (or an average of >3 per year) to rural practice.

This recognition list will be available to students on our website and at the National Conference. RTT’s are also encouraged to apply!
