IUPUC recently announced today that three nursing students have been selected for the Class of 2022 Indiana AHEC Scholars Program. Those students include:
Jessica Barajas (Columbus)
Molli Challis (Indianapolis)
Tucker Robinson (Indianapolis)
The Indiana AHEC Scholars Program is a part of a national initiative to prepare future health professionals to become leaders in inter-professional, transformative practice who serve those who need it the most.
The competitive program is designed specifically for individuals who possess a strong drive to provide care to those living in rural and medically underserved communities across Indiana, according to IUPUC.
Over the two-year program, AHEC Scholars complete didactic and experiential training opportunities with a focus on rural and urban health care and caring for underserved populations with emphasis on the integration of five core issues — behavioral health integration, cultural competency, interprofessional education, practice transformation, and social determinants of health into practice.
