Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Rural Physician Training Pathways Group
The medical schools at NEOMED, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ State University, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ University, University of Cincinnati, and Wright State University have joined together to form the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Rural Physician Training Pathways Group (RPTP). The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ RPTP is a collaborative effort to provide support and share best practices for educating the next generation of rural Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ physicians.

The Office of Rural and Underserved Programs convened the leaders of all of the undergraduate medical education rural programs in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ at an Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Rural Pathway Summit in Dublin in 2019. The group met again in March 2020 and continues meeting quarterly to work toward developing common metrics for evaluating program outcomes.
