The purpose of the program is to recruit and educate high school students from rural Nebraska who will return to practice in rural areas of the state. This program represents a commitment and dedication to the education of Nebraskans and quality health care for citizens of the state. RHOP also encourages non-traditional students from rural Nebraska to apply. For more information on the programs that consider non-traditional applications, please contact Health Professions.
