NRHA Rural Health Students Group
NRHA's Student Constituency Group is comprised of student members, who are future workforce and leaders in rural America.
As members, students can come together with their peers, educators, administrators, health professionals and other stakeholders to create a dialogue about rural health and related issues, such as workforce and policy.
NRHA’s Student Constituency Group is overseen by a board of students who are elected each year. The board assists in recruitment and plans NRHA’s Annual Rural Health Conference student track to promote rural health issues.
