• Rural Health Experience – This three- to five-day rural immersion experience allows college students to shadow different units in a rural hospital and outlying clinics to understand multiple levels of healthcare in a rural setting.
• Rural Interprofessional Preceptorship – An interprofessional group of health professions students will spend six weeks in a rural community shadowing healthcare professionals of different backgrounds, participating in weekly classroom sessions, and working as a team on a Community Service Learning Project.
