Significant health disparities in the United States are a growing concern. To successfully address these challenges will require a multi-faceted approach across all aspects of the health care delivery system, and society more broadly. Developing a comprehensive understanding of tribal, rural, and urban underserved (TRU) population health, health systems, and the challenges with which these communities and systems contend, is vital for all physicians, especially for those who intend to enter TRU primary care.
