These non-credit courses are open to area health care providers and health professions students. This includes 30 contact hours of classroom instruction, a manual and audiotapes. The goal of these efforts is to decrease the isolation of health care providers practicing in remote areas, and to assist them to remain current in their health care disciplines. These programs are offered year round within our five county service area. This action results in the development of special community-based programs and initiatives that have the potential to increase the access to and quality of primary health care services in the rural and medically underserved community.
All participants complete a team produced community health project.
Projects which promote the recruitment, training, and retention of primary health care professionals in the rural and medically underserved community can receive this support.
