1. Recruit Hoosiers from underserved areas and populations
2. Teach science from the perspective of clinical medicine (Basic Science Years)
3. Teach medicine from the perspective of rural health (Clinical Years)
4. Develop 21^st century tools for the rural physician
5. Promote research in community health
