Program

The Rural Clinic Exposure Initiative (RCEI) is a program designed to increase the amount of rural health professionals in southeast and south central Indiana by targeting students participating in clinical rotations and fieldwork opportunities, whom are already enrolled in health programs across the state of Indiana. RCEI helps students interested in rural and urban health professional opportunities find placements within our 24 county region, in hopes that they will be interested in working in the same type of rural location post-graduation, thus slowly lessening the amount of medically underserved areas in Indiana. We partner with university and college health programs, hospitals, health clinics, and other health care facilities to provide experiences for health professional students in rural areas. To this date, SE/SCI AHEC's RCEI Program has set-up relationships with well over 30 different health professions programs, including students from:

- Indiana University

School of Medicine

School of Rehabilitation Sciences

-Butler University

School of Allied Health Sciences

School of Pharmacy

-University of Indianapolis

Krannert School of Physical & Occupational

Therapy

-Ivy Tech Community Colleges

Sellersburg

Lawrenceburg

Bloomington

Columbus
