Membership participation
Ultimately, there are many ways ROK-Net members can engage with the network and fellow
members. Three primary means of participation include identifying salient challenges,
developing solutions and testing innovations. Members will dedicate themselves to
solving intricate problems and devote time for network activities.
Advising Members are clinicians who are unable to participate as active members due to circumstances such as retirement or practicing in non-rural areas, yet would like to devote time and consultation for events and strategic planning. The expectations of these members are the same as the above, with the exception of engaging their clinical practice in ROK-Net activities.
