Texas A&M’s rural medicine program launched in 2019 to address the state’s healthcare provider shortage. Since then, 52 medical students have participated in rotations at 25 rural locations, the release said.
As part of the Christus partnership, medical students will complete one- and two-week rotations at the Jacksonville hospital and its clinics, with the first rotations expected to begin in June.
Christus Mother Frances Hospital-Sulphur Springs signed an agreement to join the program in 2024.
