Abstract Rural emergency departments ( ED s) in the United States are less likely to be staffed with emergency medicine ( EM ) residency–trained and American Board of Emergency Medicine ( ABEM )‐certified physicians than urban ED s. Rural EM clinical experiences during residency training have been suggested as a strategy to encourage future rural practice, but past Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education ( ACGME ) Residency Review Committee for Emergency Medicine program requirements and a lack of familiarity with rural rotations in the EM graduate medical education ( GME ) community have limited their availability. To provide a template for the development and implementation of a rural EM clinical experience, Kern's six‐step approach was followed.
