James Stevermer, MD, and medical student Amanda Shipp examine a patient in Fulton, Mo., a town of approximately 13,000 people. After growing up on a farm, Stevermer decided to practice medicine in a small community due to a shortage of rural physicians and his family's preference for rural life. He is a medical education director at MU and co-author of a new article in Academic Medicine that describes MU's success in producing physicians for rural areas.
