Rural Scholar's Track Sub-Committee
The Rural Scholar's Track Sub-Committee monitors the rural curriculum for the students enrolled in the RST. This includes their clinical experience at the University Medical Center in Lafayette as well as with their rural preceptor. In addition, the group works to develop and improve the rural educational experience and ensure the students recieve an education equivalent to that of the remainder of the students.
