Events

Each year, the Rural Medicine Interest Group (RMIG) hosts several events to keep students informed about the rural medical community. At these events, they can learn about career opportunities, scholarships or learn skills to help with their rural medical practice.

Things to look forward to this upcoming year:

• Look for the RMIG booth during the Club Fair on the first day of orientation.
