University of Wyoming-Thermopolis RTT
We are an innovative, new program located in a truly rural/frontier environment set to immerse and train residents in a full spectrum family medicine experience. We train residents to become highly skilled family physicians who are be able to meet the needs and improve the health of the communities that they will serve.
The challenges of practicing medicine in rural communities are constantly changing and definitely different than larger environments. A quote from Dr. Mathey, WWAMI graduate 2015 I think summarizes it well —It is true that the scope of our practice is far more expansive than most family physician practices and most training programs in the country. The longitudinal curriculum in the rural environment is a perfect mix for full spectrum prep.
