Scholars
Our Scholars are learners working towards becoming impactful, community-engaged health professionals. The training program they complete provides them with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop, implement, and evaluate community-based projects. They also receive professional development and applicant coaching that has been developed to help them be healthy, successful, high-performing health professionals.
Becoming an Institute for Healthier Communities Scholar
Selection: New Scholars are selected by the Institute Leadership based on their alignment with the mission of the Institute and the potential for the program to enhance the learner’s ability to have a positive impact on their community.
Eligibility: Learners who are known to a member of the Institute Leadership are eligible to be extended an opportunity to apply. The best way to become eligible is to attend a public event. At the end of each event, learners will be provided with information on how to arrange a meeting with Dr. Michael Ioerger. Click here to see upcoming events.
