Looking Back Rural Arizona Physicians Model The ‘Art’ Of Practicing Medicine “In every art beginners must start with models of those who have practiced the same art before them,” said poet, professor and mentor Ruth Whitman (1922-1999). This summer, a select group of physicians are modeling the “art” of practicing medi-cine in small Arizona commu-nities as part of the University of Arizona College of Medi-cine program to help alleviate the shortages of physicians in rural areas, especially critical as older physicians retire and health-care coverage expands under the Affordable Care Act. The physicians are rural faculty members in the UA College of Medicine’s Rural Health Professions Program (RHPP), volunteering for four to six weeks to mentor medi-cal students from the UA Col-leges of Medicine in Tucson and Phoenix. Working side-by-side with the students, the physicians demonstrate the multiple roles they play, the personal connections with patients and the sense of com-munity that attracted them to rural practice, and encourage the medical students to choose rural practices in the future. Three area communities hosted students this summer. In Polacca, Jon Stucki, M.D., family medicine, men-tored Melissa Lin June 5-July 12. Dr. Stucki is a 2004 gradu-

ate of the UA College of Med-icine and has been an RHPP preceptor since 2009. Lin is attending the UA College of Medicine-Tucson. In Snowflake, Dallas Pe-terson, M.D., and Alan De-Witt, M.D., both family medi-cine, mentored Brett Brewer June 10-July 12. Dr. Peterson has been an RHPP preceptor since 1999 and is a 1992 graduate of the UA College of Medicine. Dr. DeWitt, a Snowflake native, has been an RHPP pre-ceptor since 2005. A 1999 UA College of Medicine graduate, he completed his residency in family medicine at Ban-ner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix in 2002. Brewer is attending the UA College of Medicine-Tuc-son. In Winslow, Greg Jar-rin, M.D., general surgery, mentored Steven Taylor June 5-July 5. Dr. Jarrin has been an RHPP preceptor since 2012. Taylor is attending the UA College of Medicine-Tucson. The medical students work with the physicians at their practice sites and reside in their communities for four to six weeks between the end of May and early August. Stu-dents are matched with pre-ceptors based on medical spe-cialty interest and community preference. Physician special-ties include family practice,

pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery. The students con-tinue to work with their pre-ceptors over the course of their three remaining years of medical training, returning to the rural communities in their third and fourth years. RHPP was established in 1997 by the Arizona Legis-lature to encourage medical school graduates to practice medicine in rural communi-ties. Initial follow-up of 97 graduates of this program who have completed residen-cy shows that 42 percent have practiced in rural Arizona, 30 percent are in current rural Arizona practice and eight percent are in rural practice in other states.
