The summit will bring together educators, clinicians, community members and leaders to create a roadmap for a rural pediatrics training program. Together, we will explore new ways to prepare, recruit and retain pediatricians while building a stronger workforce to meet the unique needs of our communities. This work will help ensure every child has access to high-quality care, no matter where they live.
The event is hosted by CentraCare and the University of Minnesota, with support from the Minnesota Department of Health.
