TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – It’s no secret rural healthcare isn’t what it could be in Alabama: not enough doctors, nurses and even some hospitals have closed due to lack of funding. But a new recruitment program on the University of Alabama campus hopes to change the trajectory somewhat.
It’s the first of its kind, and with this inaugural class of 10 students, program leaders hope they will be the ones who help change the rural healthcare landscape in Alabama.
