New University of Montana doctors ready to cross Montana to begin rural family medicine

When Cassie Lopez and her husband, Brian, interviewed with the Family Medicine Residency program at the University of Montana, the school’s focus on rural care led them to cancel their remaining interviews with competing medical programs.

Now, several years later, the two new doctors are gearing up to start their full-spectrum practice in Lewistown – population 5,800.

"We met with both programs from Montana and immediately fell in love with the rural emphasis this program has," said Lopez. "We wanted a change from a big academic hospital to a community based program. When we came to interview, we canceled all our interviews after this one."
