Rural Medical & Science Scholars
A Program for Mississippi Citizens and Communities
Since 1998, the Rural Medical and Science Scholars program has been focused on helping high school seniors determine if they want to pursue health-related careers and shaping students’ interest and understanding of medicine, health-related disciplines, and other STEM fields. The scholars engage with healthcare professionals, complete an intense and rigorous session of health science college coursework, and engage in didactic, observational, and experiential learning.
