- Required rural rotation (Parkston, Milbank, Mobridge, Madison, Orange City IA) with housing provided; align with a rural/regional practice goal and ask which site fits you.
- 20 weeks of electives in PGY-2/3 (global health, perinatology, LGBTQ health, HIV, obesity medicine, custom options); bring a specific elective idea.
- Behavioral health is integrated and led by an on-site director; ask how it is woven into continuity clinic.
