Program Info
The Pierre Rural Family Medicine Residency is devoted to providing an excellent education that prepares physicians for practice in South Dakota and other areas of the mostly rural upper Midwest. Practice in a rural community is quite different from suburbia. It requires a broad knowledge base, solid procedural skills, a comfort level with telemedicine, and an ability to improvise. It also requires one to be comfortable caring for friends and neighbors, to participate in the local organizations and activities, and a willingness to assume a leadership role in the community. Rural medicine involves more than merely staffing the local healthcare facilities.
Program Info
Residents have the opportunity to participate in a research project.
Program Info
Residents undertake progressive autonomy and responsibility for patient care decision-making Technical support services perform nearly all ancillary procedures which allows the resident to spend more time at the patients' bedside.
"In-person interview (although a concession must have been made for the other applicant that day, as he was piped in from another state). Program provided a hotel room the night before, and lunch with the residents after the interviews. Toured the clinic and hospital. Interview was structured but comfortable, with plenty of time for questions at the end. This is a fairly new program that is still morphing and improving. If you like hunting and fishing, or being involved in state politics, this is a great location. I have no doubt the training would be great, and there is much autonomy once you move to Pierre. As of my interview date, OBGYN is a weakness in this area, but you will get all of your numbers in your first year while in Sioux Falls."

"The night before, the residents did a Q&A for the interview candidates. The morning of, the program coordinator shared a little bit about the program while waiting for the Program Director to give a powerpoint presentation about the program. We then moved into a waiting room with the other candidates and had the chance to chat with each other and occasionally with the program coordinator. We interviewed with the PD, faculty and the program coordinator. "
