Requirements

During the junior and senior years, students will complete 80 hours of didactic training and 80 hours of team-based clinical/experiential training in rural and/or medically underserved settings.  Students will meet these requirements by completing two rotations in primary care and/or medically underserved care, such as Ambulatory Care and an Elective in a Primary Care/Medically Underserved area.

This program is designed to give students an experience in primary care, rural medicine or medically underserved populations.  There is no commitment to practicing in a rural area or in primary care.

Application Process

Due to limited enrollment, students are encouraged to apply at the end of the sophomore year or beginning of the junior year.  After applying, students will be contacted by a Regional Programs recruiter, who will act as an AHEC Scholars advisor for orientation and program planning.
