Welcome from Program Director, Dr. Samson Teka and Associate Program director, Dr. Jennifer Calafato.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to train exceptional physicians who are committed to serving rural and underserved communities. In our program, you will experience the full breadth of internal medicine while learning to adapt and thrive in resource-limited settings.

We offer a unique blend of rigorous clinical training, hands-on experience, and community engagement. Our residents work closely with dedicated faculty and local providers, gaining the skills and confidence to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care where it is needed most.

Choosing rural medicine is more than a career, it’s a calling. Here, you will not only grow as a physician but also make a lasting impact on the lives of patients and the health of entire communities.

Thank you for considering our program. We look forward to partnering with you on this rewarding journey toward becoming a leader in rural healthcare.
