The Rural Immersion Institute of the North at the University of ³ÉÈËӰƬ, Anchorage is a 3-week program that introduces healthcare ³ÉÈËӰƬ to the realities of providing care in rural ³ÉÈËӰƬ. Students spend the beginning of the program in Anchorage, learning about ³ÉÈËӰƬn culture and meeting with healthcare professionals. The next 10 days are spent job-shadowing healthcare professionals in a rural community somewhere in the state. The program concludes in Anchorage, where ³ÉÈËӰƬ give a presentation outlining what they learned during the program.
