Fall open House (11/30/07) In November we have an Open House for all interested students. This event is an opportunity for students to learn about the RHIP and find out how to become involved. Students can also talk to the faculty representative from their discipline to find out more information. Spring Orientation and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Tutorials (2/1/08) In February, we have an Orientation for students who decide to participate in the RHIP. At this time, students meet other students who they will work with over the course of the next spring and summer semesters. During spring semester from late January until the beginning of April, teams of students spend Friday afternoons from 2:00 until 5:00 working in interdisciplinary PBL tutorial groups on campus. Students learn to develop and facilitate health care cases that require interdisciplinary team problem-solving. During the spring, students will also meet with the rural coordinator for their selected site, and will have an opportunity to find housing. Summer Rural Orientation, Tutorials and/or Community Projects At the beginning of June students participate in an orientation to the rural community they selected earlier in the year. During June and July, students work on community health related projects one afternoon each week in the rural community. In addition, most students will fulfill clinical requirements of their professional program under the direction of the community preceptor. Students, in some rural communities will design and implement community projects that fill an unmet health related need in their rural community. Past UNM Interdisciplinary projects include community health fairs, mentoring programs for middle school and high school students, and health safety projects. Students will work closely with the rural coordinator and community members to develop useful community health projects. Financial support is provided to assist with travel and housing in the rural community.
