Students spend 5-10 hours per week outside of clinic time working on this project through step-by-step assignments and finalize their project into a poster that they present at their Foundation Campus&#8217;s Poster Symposium in November.<\/p>\n<p>The project focuses on understanding how change occurs in a community medicine setting and allows the student to explore what resources their RUOP community already has available, as well as what could be done to advance community medicine regarding an issue that is relevant to their specific RUOP community. Projects vary widely in topic and focus, but you can view some examples from our 2025 RUOP cohort in the document below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAG5uw5tBaw\/dikITu-1XvSfwjpEQl5ERg\/view?utm_content=DAG5uw5tBaw&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link2&amp;utm_source=uniquelinks&amp;utlId=ha775ae54c6\">Example Projects by Region<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome new and returning preceptors to the RUOP program!
