Texas Rural
Health Opportunities
There is a serious health care shortage in rural Texas, leaving some communities without the higher level of medical care available in metropolitan areas.
The Texas Medical Board has taken a proactive stance on rural health care concerns.
The Board provides information regarding rural health programs sponsored by private and state organizations.
A goal of the Texas Medical Board is to make health care accessible to all rural Texans. We hope to achieve this by promoting rural practice opportunities among health care providers.
