In subsequent years, the program has been coordinated and sponsored by the Wisconsin AHEC System and has focused on the education of health professions students. The Wisconsin Express is designed for students in health professions' academic programs who are interested in learning about the diversity of many of Wisconsin's communities. Participating students interface with health care professionals who share their perspectives on working with these communities, participate in dialogues with community members, and explore their own expectations of the people and communities they meet. Students are exposed to each community's unique strengths and challenges. Students will be notified of their admission status to the Wisconsin Express soon thereafter.
