RhPAP U is designed as a one-stop resource for rural health in Alberta. The evidence-based research, reports, videos, and infographics on RhPAP U offer insight into rural population trends, rural health issues, health workforce developments, and strategies to support healthy rural communities. There are many links to additional resources and research to explore a topic in more depth. 

The information is organized into five pillars:  

rural population health 
rural health policy 
rural health research 
rural health service delivery 
rural health workforce. 

Each pillar has several sub-topics that focus on issues relevant to rural communities. Collectively, these topics explain the many factors that influence the health of rural people and allow for a comprehensive approach to healthy rural communities. 

RhPAP U will be of interest to rural community members and health professionals, government representatives, and health science students who are invested in supporting healthy rural communities.  

Learning through RhPAP U offers the following: 
- greater knowledge of rural health, health-care issues, and workforce challenges 
- enhanced ability to attract and retain health-care providers to rural communities 
- opportunity to better advocate for the needs of rural communities 

We encourage you to explore RhPAP U and send to us your feedback!
