Rural Recognition Award Nomination Form

Distributed Learning and Rural Initiatives recognizes the work and passion that our rural preceptors bring to teaching in the community. Nominate someone for a Rural Recognition Award to distinguish their effort in the rural medicine community. We want to hear from community members, learners, staff, administrators, and colleagues of the people who are outstanding at what they do.
