Educational Programs
Education is the primary mission at the Country Doctor Museum. We are dedicated to instilling an appreciation and understanding of rural health care, chronicling the evolution of health, medicine, and the medical profession, empowering educators, and improving the overall health of the public. The museum is committed to developing public support and meeting the needs of the community through its educational programs, services, and resources.
We believe that the value of medical history, specifically rural health care, is to remind us that today’s medicine has been built over the centuries with each succeeding era witnessing important additions to the body of medical knowledge. We believe that medicine is still a balance of art, developing interpersonal skills, and science, incorporating the newest technological advances to enhance patient care.
We believe that modern health care professionals, to some extent, are descendents of the ethical country doctors who met the challenge to heal , care, comfort, and respect patients within their communities without the advantages of modern communication, knowledge, or technology. Lastly, we believe that the Country Doctor Museum is a unique resource to view the evolution of the United States as a country and people through the lens of rural health care.
