WRITE

The WRITE program is designed to give selected third-year medical students an appropriate mix of ambulatory and hospital experience during a 20-week clinical education experience at a rural primary care teaching site. The intent of the experience is to allow students interested in primary care to become intimately familiar with the day-to-day workings of a rural community practice, to become a member of a rural practice team, to develop a continuity experience with a patient panel and to become socially integrated in a rural community.

Visiting a WRITE site	Moving to a WRITE site
The WRITE Steering Committee interviews the WRITE candidates and makes the initial match in early November. Students who match to WRITE sites outside their home state may arrange a visit (preferably during the winter break) to meet with the preceptor(s).	If a suitable match is agreed on by the site and the student, the student will be assigned to that site for the following academic year's winter and spring quarters.
