Plan now to attend the NRHA Minority and Multicultural Conference in Albuquerque, NM. The goals and objectives of the conference are:  To provide a forum to examine issues related to connecting the need for partnerships between economic development and rural health among minority and multi-cultural populations; to identify the environmental and developmental challenges faced by health care agencies seeking to serve rural minority & multicultural populations; to identify the barriers and/or challenges to linking economic development and health care to rural minority & multicultural populations; and to identify best practices & methodologies toward forging partnerships among economic development and rural minority and multicultural populations.

The Rural Medical Educators (RME) Group is a special interest group of the NRHA committed to advancing the training of physicians for rural practice through network development and advocacy.

Plan now to attend the most exciting event on the calendar for rural health professionals - the 2009 NRHA Annual Conference. This is a tremendous opportunity for rural health professionals to network with their peers, gain valuable continuing education credits and visit Miami Beach.
