The Rural Health Scholars Program is conducted by the UA College of Community Health Sciences, a branch of the University of Alabama School of Medicine. Rural Health Scholars live on the UA campus during a 5-week summer program prior to their senior year. Chosen based on academic achievement and interest in rural health care, these outstanding high school juniors from rural areas take two courses for college credit (English and Chemistry) and participate in field trips and lectures related to rural health careers.
Dates of the Program
May 30, 2011 – July 2, 2011
