Tulane Rural Medicine Club

The Rural Medicine Club focuses on providing students with opportunities to learn about the various health issues facing rural Louisiana: ex: health care access, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, tobacco use. The organization will host guest speakers during monthly meetings in which they will discuss a timely & relevant topic with a rural health focus on it. We are partnering with the Louisiana Rural Health Association, which will have volunteering and advocacy opportunities to better prepare students for careers in Medicine and hopefully inspire them to consider serving rural communities via healthcare as a potential career path.
