CSC selects RHOP participants, alternates

Alternates to the program complete the same curriculum and have the same benefits, excluding the scholarship, and often receive nearly or the same financial support through other scholarships. If a participant position opens, alternates are the first to be considered. Otherwise, alternates have been highly successful in their applications through the traditional route, according to Dr. Joyce Hardy, Professor and Department Chair of Biology.

Students who successfully complete their pre-professional education at CSC advance directly to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). Founded in 1989, RHOP is a collaborative program between Chadron State College and UNMC. After earning their professional degrees, RHOP participants are expected and encouraged to return to rural Nebraska to provide health care.

Dental students will complete their advanced training at Lincoln, dental hygiene students at Gering, nursing students at Scottsbluff, and all others at the UNMC campuses in Omaha or Kearney. Students chosen for RHOP at CSC include the names below.
