The words “health care crisis” are probably strung together as much these days as any three words found in the dictionary. The crisis is very real and challenging in rural places around the country. Programs such as the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine, or WARM, should be supported and expanded where possible. WARM, a part of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, trains doctors in rural places around the state, with the hope that the students will find reasons to stay in those areas upon graduation.
