All you Cowboys (and cowgirls ;-)

This topic has been addressed piecemeal in a number of threads about the “cowboy” programs. You know, where “full-spectrum” medicine is taken to the point where family medicine residents are running the traumas, doing the appys, and basically kicking ass! If there’s anything an NP isn’t going to take away from me, somewhere in the year 2020, its going to be my capacity to provide a spectrum of care way beyond what they’re doing at the Wal-mart clinic (but bless their hearts!).

So, where are these programs? If you are at one, or trained at one, or just have second hand information about one, please add to or edit the thread! And anybody, please provide any further information you have about these!!




Tacoma- seems promising

Contra costa- looks good

Salinas- if you want to practice in Spanish!

Klamath Falls, OR (?)

Alaska- it is Alaska for pete’s sake!

Montana- seems more wilderness focused

Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado- gotta be some cowboys in here somewhere!

Texas- not a longhorn fan, but JPS has been mentioned before

Southeast- anyone?

Northeast- ?

Oh yea, and then there’s this place called “Ventura”… pack your spurs..

So no one else knows any programs like this?

Please people! Could use some help here!
