The ICORM was started back in 2007 with a vision to bring all national and international rural medicine and health experts to share their experiences in facing the challenges in the delivery of both medical healthcare services and education. Following the success the three ICORM conferences in forging linkages and creating new network of researchers involved in rural medicine as collaborators, the Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) School of Medicine this year again decided to hold the 4th ICORM with theme of “The Challenges in Rural Medicine
Objectives
- To discuss current challenges in rural medicine and how we should face them through sharing from best practices or spearhead champions in the works towards these.

- To enhance cooperation between institutions of higher learning and bodies in developing or establishing rural health education in line with the needs of global challenges.
- To provide a platform for members of the rural medicine and allied health community in fostering linkages and collaboration effort in research and healthcare services.
