Minority Rural Health Scholars Program

Minority Rural Health Scholars Program is sponsored by Alabama Department of Public Health. Aims to increase the number of minority students from rural Alabama qualifying for medical school admission.

High School Programs | College of Community Health Sciences The Rural Health Scholars (RHS), Rural Dental Health Scholars (RDHS) and the Medical Opportunities and Outreach in Rural Education Scholars (MOORES) programs are outreach summer programs of the UA Rural Health Leaders pipeline that involve rural high students in pursuit of health-care careers with the goal of producing physicians and dentists for rural Alabama who are also leaders in community health.

The RHS, RDHS and MOORE Scholars programs recruit, select and involve rural Alabama high school students in a summer term at UA where they reside in campus housing, enroll in college courses in science or English, participate in seminars and field trips related to rural health professions, and learn about steps necessary to be successful in pre-health professions curriculums in college.

This program is for rural Alabama high school students currently in 12th grade who plan to enter college in the next academic year.
