Rural Medicine
The Rural Medicine Fellowship is a 12 month/13 “block” post-residency program that provides specialty training in emergency and acute care topics such as trauma, ortho trauma, critical care, stabilization, EMS and life flight experience, and related procedures. The goal is to train broad-spectrum family physicians to provide quality advanced level care to children and adults in a rural, under-served, or isolated community. Training takes place between both major hospital systems in beautiful Boise as well as in our surrounding communities. Specific training includes procedures such as central lines, airway management and intubation, chest tubes, thoracentesis/paracentesis, laceration repair, conscious sedation, fracture/dislocation management, and bedside ultrasound. Surgical OB experience is available for up to 16 weeks of the year depending on our OB Fellows elective schedules. The fellow will maintain a continuity clinic 2 half days per week.
