Changing Health Professions Education in West Virginia.
Carlton, Bill; Weston, W. Donald
Academic Medicine, v72 n2 p110-15 Feb 1997
Medical, nursing, pharmacy, and dental education in West Virginia's state universities has undergone substantial changes since 1991, becoming more responsive to community needs. A primary-care, community-based academic system now involves students, faculty, health professionals, and lay community members in identifying and serving needs in underserved and rural areas. All students complete a 12-week rural rotation in an expanding program. (Author/MSE)
