Summer 2022: E-21 RUOP Projects

The Rural Underserved Opportunities Program (RUOP) Triple I is a six-week research project conducted alongside a four-week clinical immersion in a rural or underserved community in Wyoming or the WWAMI region. Students work side-by-side with local physicians providing health care to historically disinvested populations and conducting community-focused research such as health education projects, needs assessments, intervention planning, or evaluation of health services. Students present their findings every Fall at the Wyoming WWAMI research symposium.
