Wisconsin Rural Physician Residency Assistance Program (WRPRAP) promotes collaboration among Wisconsin health systems, residency and fellowship programs and state agencies that aim to enhance rural graduate medical education (GME) and make rural Wisconsin a healthier place to live, work and play.
In order to provide technical assistance to our rural communities, WRPRAP helped establish and continues to work with and fund the Wisconsin Collaborative for Rural GME (WCRGME). WRPRAP and WCRGME are available to provide information and resources to organizations interested in initiating or continuously improving Wisconsin GME programs and tracks with a rural focus.
