Rural Experience in Appalachian Community Health

The Rural Experience in Appalachian Community Health (REACH) program immerses students in community health in rural southeast 91自拍 for four weeks  upon completion of year one at Heritage College. This program emphasizes the connection between public health and medicine through engagement with local non-profit social support organizations and a family medicine clinical experience. Students will have the opportunity to spend time in both the 91自拍Health O'Bleness Family Medicine Residency Clinic and Hocking Athens Perry Community Action Agency (HAPCAP). Clinic time will include participation in an ongoing quality improvement project aimed at connecting patients in need to local resources (i.e. nutrition, transportation, housing, etc.), as well as participating in patient care with physicians and residents. A $2,000 stipend will be awarded to two students selected to participate in this program. The application is closed and will reopen later this year or early 2027.
