The physician shortage in rural areas is definitely a big concern. At DMU, we are thrilled to get the AHEC centers up & running and know the program will be a success. To understand more of how they help the state, check out this video from our Northeast Iowa center: http://video.meandv.com/amh/amh%2D18203. In addition to AHEC & RIPE, another program DMU offers to encourage more docs to practice in rural Iowa is the Osteopathic Physician Recruitment Program. This is a program for our grads - offering loan repayment in exchange for practicing in a small town: http://www.dmu.edu/fa/scholarship_info/do/oprp We also support and encourage grads who choose work that fills in care shortages caused by various factors. A great example is DMU M.H.A. grad Renea Seagren who is the CEO at a Community Health Center in Storm Lake (http://www.uchcsl.com). Thank you for this thought-provoking blog!
