Rural Education Action Plan
The Rural Education Action Plan (REAP) supports the training needs of physicians in rural practice and provides undergraduate medical students and post-graduate residents with rural practice experience. It also increases rural physician participation into the medical school selection process. REAP is managed by the Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues and categorizes its programs by rural practitioners, residents and learners.

REAP for Residents
Numerous programs and bursaries are available through REAP to support medical residents in British Columbia.
REAP for Learners
From high school students to undergraduate students, REAP offers several programs and bursaries to enhance learning.
REAP Research and Evaluation
The REAP Evaluation and Quality Improvement Faculty evaluate the REAP initiatives to ensure they are effective at recruiting and retaining rural physicians.
