Who is it for?
Nebraska college students in clinical training, and local high school students.
Why do they do it?
The goal is to keep youth with medical careers in rural communities once they graduate versus them migrating to the cities to work.
Impact
Many students trained at AMH apply for jobs at AMH following graduation. It allows AMH to have direct experiences with applicants prior to hiring them and to fill vacancies from a bigger pool of candidates.
