DRG Media Group Beyond the Mic podcasts

In its 118 years of delivering medical education, the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine has designed and implemented programs specifically to train physicians who are prepared and eager to practice in rural and underserved areas. In this episode, USD SSOM Dean Dr. Tim Ridgway chats with DRG’s Jody Heemstra about the school and their Frontier and Rural Medicine-- or FARM—program, where students are immersed in rural clinical settings, fosters a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards of rural practice.

Current FARM training sites are in Chamberlain, Milbank, Mobridge, Parkston, Pierre, Spearfish and Vermillion. In addition, with clinical school campuses in Yankton and Rapid City, along with clinical partners across the state, students are guaranteed a wide range of training experiences.

Week 11 is why we do it people. What a weekend of football it was in the NFL. Before we do that, we highlight one of the most impressive athletes in the country who is playing with a serious disadvantage. From the NFL, the Browns saw Sanders first action, and it did not go well. Sam Darnold threw FOUR interceptions and the Seahawks somehow kept it close. JJ McCarthy almost pulled off another second half comeback versus the Bears. Josh Allen did something that only Josh Allen could do, scored 6 total touchdowns. The Packers almost fell victim to Jameis Winston, and every other game from Week 11. If you love talking sports, this is the show for you, so come on into Cowart's Corner!
