PREP (Pipeline Rural Education Program) 2022 Application now open!
According to the RHI (Rural Health Information) Hub, maintaining healthy rural communities depends on a robust rural health workforce. However, provider shortages are more common and oftentimes more severe in rural areas. Rural communities need physicians, nurses, dentists and other healthcare professionalsl that are well-educated, well-trained and have had experiences that expose them to and prepare them for rural practice. Minorities have also systematically experienced a greater number of health disparities based on their racial or ethnic group. To combat the shortage of rural healthcare providers, the WVU Institute for Community and Rural Health has created PREP (Pipeline Rural Education Program). Creating more opportunities for undergraduate students to be exposed to rural experiences will bridge the gap much sooner.
