We are excited to welcome a medical student who is interested in family medicine to join our young and evolving program! Interested students will spend dedicated time with faculty preceptors in our suburban and rural continuity clinic sites situated in the Freeman Health System, in both Joplin and Neosho, and experience inpatient medicine with our family medicine team at Freeman West. The student will join our residents during our weekly academic afternoon, learning about a broad range of topics pertinent to our wide-ranging practice. This area has a long tradition of community collaboration, and this collaboration has borne impressive fruit: a new medical school, a new dental school, several well-respected GME programs, to name only a few examples. This reflects deeply felt and shared core values: compassion, excellence, passion for community, and professional responsibility to those served. We look forward to meeting medical students who share these values and want to be part of our mission to revolutionize primary care in this community!
