  2. What is a Rural School?

  3. Rural School Districts in Idaho According to the Idaho State Department of Education there are 144 school districts in Idaho. 108 (75%) qualify as rural school districts and public charters. With this being said 45% (49) of these rural school districts have also gone from a five to a 4-day school week to reduce there annual budget.

  5. Rural Outreach/Rodeo • The purpose of the Rural Outreach/Rodeo program is to provide athletic training services to the rural schools and communities of Southwest Idaho that are considered Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) or Medically Underserved Populations (MUPs). • We provide the following in-kind services: • weekly or bi-weekly injury clinics • Coach, Administration, athlete, parent, & community education • Injury prevention • Acute and chronic injury evaluation • Injury treatment • Taping and bracing • Concussion evaluation and management • Home exercise programs • Evening and weekend medical support by phone • Forging new relationships, harboring the relationships we have, and taking the Accountable Care model where its needed most (our rural communities).

  6. Challenges of Rural Outreach • What’s the catch? • School and community approval • Financial responsibility • System buy in • Accountable Care vs Fee for service • Staffing • Location, location, location • School Administration and coaches onboard • Time to build relationships and trust

  7. Benefits of Rural Outreach Bridge the athletic training gap for hundreds of athletes and their families that normally go without this service. We take our services to them. My office is rural Idaho. Small town/community way of life.
