Organizational History

Rocky Mountain Learning was developed at the Institute of Rural Health (IRH) at Idaho State University. For the past eight years, the IRH has developed and implemented a variety of distance learning methods and technology, assessed our methods, and continually applied improvements to our distance learning and virtual training platforms. The IRH has used web-based resources in multiple projects by developing virtual program centers, webinars, video-conference distance learning, and information portals for health topics on issues such as child traumatic stress, bioterrorism, traumatic brain injury, acquired disabilities, and provider self-care.

As an example, the IRH 2006 Think Tank series brought research specialists, industry leaders and relevant stakeholders from 16 different countries to speak about topics relevant to rural areas. The Institute of Rural Health’s TeleHealth Idaho project has provided the state of Idaho alone over 170 sessions in the last seven years and over 7,500 individuals have attended. These sessions were focused on oral, physical, and mental health professionals that worked in the rural health areas in Idaho. With the growing attention to our sessions, we were able to provide our sessions to all parts of Idaho, both urban and rural areas.
