The project is designed to provide training for Ithaca College students, faculty, and professionals working in rural health programs that train Ithaca College students.
Rural areas present unique challenges for health care providers.
Geography, variation in service availability, and unfilled health care professional positions contribute to the challenges of rural health care delivery. Student training will focus on these special needs. Training for professionals at your agency is a major component of the program. The ongoing training program will be offered at Ithaca College, and at remote sites throughout rural New York over the next 3 years. These training opportunities are offered free of charge to participating agencies.
