The University of Montana Program
About This Program
Our program is a 10-10-10 with two tracks - Missoula and Kalispell. Three applicants match to the Kalispell track each year and spend their first year in Missoula. Seven applicants match to the Missoula track each year. The program is partnered with local hospitals and FQHCs at both sites and has an incredible network of rural partner sites throughout western and central MT. The program's mission is to train physicians for rural practice - ideally in Montana.
