Full course description
Course Overview:
We are excited to offer Missouri’s future rural physicians an online educational experience that brings contexts forward that are not always visible to the eye. Community Health Engagement and Outreach developed and designed five educational modules by leveraging expertise across various disciplines accessible across the University of Missouri campus and within MU Extension. The overall goal of interprofessional education is to increase capacity among medical students to practice team-based care post-graduation, and ensure patient-centered, coordinated care in rural areas.
MU Extension is a valuable resource for translating research to practice and highlighting community partnerships, nutrition, familial relationships, and accessing local community resources.
