Join us for the 10th Annual WVU Rural Health Day in April 2026 at the WVU Health Sciences Center in Morgantown, WV!
This event gives pre-health students interested in rural healthcare the chance to explore what it’s like to work in the field. Participants will take part in hands-on workshops such as suturing, diagnostic ultrasound, intubation, and behavioral medicine. You’ll also hear from rural clinicians during a panel discussion and connect with current students during a student-led Q&A session.
Who Can Apply
Undergraduate students from four-year colleges, universities, or community colleges in West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee who are completing pre-health requirements.
