RPAP Curriculum

	Communication Sessions I & II Specialty Faculty Visits (SFV) Rural Health Modules RPAP Required Courses

The RPAP curriculum encompasses a variety of teaching methods ranging from on-site activities to distance learning/online assignments. Students are visited by RPAP faculty several times throughout their RPAP experience to monitor student progress and participate in formal case presentations and one-on-one doctor/patient communication skills development sessions. Students also complete a series of online rural healthcare modules which are designed to provide the student with a deeper understanding of the health care needs of their RPAP community, and rural health in general.

Students return to the Twin Cities campus in Period 2 of their fourth year to finish their remaining elective and required rotations. Years 3 and 4 requirements and course descriptions are available on the Medical Education web site.
