Summer Training Option in Rural Medicine (STORM)

This elective summer program, known as the Summer Training Option in Rural Medicine (STORM), is designed for medical students between their first and second years of study across three campuses. It provides immersive clinical and research experience in rural Kansas, where students gain valuable insight into practicing medicine under resource-constrained conditions. The initiative, backed by key institutions including the Departments of Family Medicine and various foundations, aims to cultivate a dedication to rural primary care among future physicians and enhance their clinical capabilities in a real-world environment.
