The two-year program is available to 75 of West Virginia’s top health professions students interested in rural health care across the state.
Rural Community Health Scholars will focus on interprofessional education from clinical, educational and community-based perspectives, emphasizing how each scholar can transform and reshape the current state of health care in their communities.
Two-thirds of the first group were WVU students, and we look forward to welcoming the next group of WVU health professionals.
Applicants must be interested in rural health, have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and have at least two years remaining in their degree program. Newly accepted scholars will begin the two-year program on September 1 and complete it in May 2026.
