The Rural Health Experience (RHE) is a 3-5 day rural immersion program for health professions students to observe rural healthcare providers and their communities. Much like the preceptorship, it is based upon principles of experiential learning and community immersion. There are 7 participating sites across the state this summer.
This is a great opportunity for upperclassmen and graduate students looking for establishing connections with potential future employers in rural communities.
There is no set date for the program- the timing is based upon the availability of the student and site. The early consideration application deadline is May 14th. After this date applications will be reviewed on a weekly rolling basis. Interested students can find more information on our web site at: http://www.ncrhp.uic.edu/ under Student Opportunities.
