The Mountain West region is home to many people who live in areas without major hospitals. This was true of vascular neurologist Dr. Stephanie Lyden, who now serves as a faculty director for the Rural and Underserved Utah Training Experience (RUUTE) and Regional Affairs Program at the University of Utah.
RUUTE aims to improve health care access and medical education/training for the rural and underserved communities of Utah and the Mountain West region by expanding interest, awareness, and placement of trainees and physicians. Dr. Lyden’s collaboration with RUUTE has led to a number of useful projects in diverse areas.
