News
MN AHEC is proud to work with third-year medical students from the University of Minnesota who participate in the Rural Physicians Associate Program (RPAP). There are RPAP students in all four of our established rural AHEC regions.
The program is in its 38th year and has over 1,200 alumni, 57% of which chose to practice in rural areas. RPAP is a unique opportunity in clinical training wherein third-year medical students live and train for nine months in non-metropolitan communities under the supervision of preceptors who are family physicians. These preceptors mentor students in the professional and personal aspects of being a physician.
RPAP students learn clinical medicine, procedures, community health, and the business of medicine.
The program has been highlighted in the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center News Capsules. You can also check out the program's newsletter, The Rural Physician, and more information can be found on the program's website.
Northeast MN AHEC has released a a new informational brochure highlighting their services, objectives and contact information.
The brochure is available for download here.
If you would like copies of the brochure to distribute or if you would like to connect with Northeast MN AHEC, please contact Executive Director Brendan Ashby at 218-362-6153.
