COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - A University of Missouri program that places doctors in rural areas is receiving national recognition. <\/p>\n
The program of the medical school's Area Health Education Center was honored with a top award recently by the National Area Health Education Center Organization. <\/p>\n
The medical school's Rural Track Pipeline Program guides undergraduates to rural settings for training during medical school and, ultimately, seeks to place them in rural practices. <\/p>\n
The university says more than 450 medical students have participated in the program since its creation in 1995. Sixty-five percent of those who took part practice medicine in Missouri, nearly half of them in rural areas of the state. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
