Partners & Supporters

As a student-run interest group, RMIG works with several organizations with a focus on rural health. Without their financial and educational support, rural medicine would be significantly less prominent at the University of Alberta. It is with their assistance that we are able to promote this dynamic aspect of medical education.

We have the opportunity to work closely with:

• University of Alberta
• Office of Rural & Regional Health
• Alberta Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP)
  The Alberta Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP) is an independent not-for-profit company funded by Alberta Health. It provides a comprehensive provincial program for the education, recruitment and retention of physicians for rural practice.The RhPAP offers a wide variety of programs and resources to medical students including: rural shadowing, clinical skills workshops, a rural recruitment fair, funding opportunities and the Summer Externship Program.
