SUMMER FUN!! We love celebrating the meaningful moments happening across our residency programs! Recently, the Wausau Aspirus Family Medicine Residency hosted their annual July Summer Picnic, bringing residents and families together for food, sunshine, and community.
They also make it a priority to connect outside of clinical training—the program plans a group activity once a quarter. Most recently, the group spent an afternoon bowling, laughing, and enjoying time together.
Thank you to our Wausau team for fostering strong relationships and supporting residents as they work toward their mission of providing excellent medical care to our beloved communities of north central Wisconsin.

Jennifer Reink, DO and Donna Kurilla from Tamarack Health recently presented at the Rural Medical Training Collaborative (RMTC) Annual Meeting in Duluth, Minnesota, sharing innovative approaches to recruitment in rural graduate medical education.

Their session, “When Rural is Too Rural Reimagining Recruitment for Underserved Communities,” highlighted how they enhanced their Rural Emergency Medicine Fellowship recruitment by designing more candidate centered interview experiences and incorporating intentional, meaningful onboarding supports.

It is great to see our programs actively developing creative strategies to strengthen recruitment and support future physicians in underserved rural communities.
