This is supported by the Healthcare Provider Shortage Areas as designated by the Oregon Health Authority. Some studies have been done to assess successful recruitment strategies for rural practice showing that most rural practitioners come from a rural background and that early exposure to the medical field leads to more interest in pursuing a medical career. The objective of this project is to encourage high school students in rural Oregon to pursue careers in medicine and return to these areas for practice, thereby addressing the severe shortage of healthcare providers in these areas. 000008924 540__ $$fCC BY 000008924 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008924 650__ $$aRural Health Services$$031299 000008924 650__ $$aHealth Personnel$$019889 000008924 650__ $$aCommunity-Institutional Relations$$016952 000008924 7001_ $$aStevens, Mikayla$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008924 7201_ $$aWiser, Eric$$eAdvisor$$7Personal$$uOregon Health and Science University 000008924 8564_ $$9bc6c6bc4-33b3-4922-9210-966bb8d86aa1$$s525809$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8924/files/Scholarly_Projects_Poster_MStevens_.pdf 000008924 8564_ $$9f021111d-943e-45fc-95aa-b8b0537e521d$$s662720$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8924/files/Stevens_Mikayla_Final_SP_Report_19_March_2021.pdf 000008924 905__ $$a/rest/prod/02/87/0w/38/02870w387 000008924 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8924$$pstudent-work 000008924 980__ $$aScholarly Project Capstones
