RIG is an interest group designed to provide Med I and II students with exposure to Manitoba Rural Medicine (i.e. beyond the Winnipeg Perimeter). RIG does this by planning a variety of events throughout the year to showcase the many opportunities for careers in Rural Medicine. These include lunch presentations by Rural Regional Health Authorities, dinners with rural clinicians (both general and specialist), and RIG Trips(!). We also assist in planning Rural Week exposures at the end of Med I.
