RHOP interviews begin next week

Published:

Fifty-five high school students from throughout Nebraska will be on the Chadron State College campus at various times this month to interview for a position in the Rural Health Opportunities Program.

The interviews are scheduled on seven dates beginning Monday, Jan. 14, and ending Monday, Jan. 28.

RHOP addresses the needs of rural Nebraska’s health care industry by encouraging rural residents to pursue careers in nine disciplines of health care. If selected to the program, students obtain early admission to participating University of Nebraska Medical Center colleges upon completion of studies at CSC. Selection to RHOP is an honor, as each of the disciplines has just 2-5 openings.

UNMC reported last fall that RHOP is achieving its mission as 52 percent of its graduates are practicing health care in rural Nebraska, and another 16 percent are working in the lesser-populated areas of other states.
