Become a Rural Health Fellow

  The Rural Health Association of TN (RHA of TN) is excited to announce the Rural Health Fellow of TN (RHF of TN) program geared toward highly motivated    individuals who have a proven dedication to improving the health of rural Tennesseans through their educational and professional experience. The goal of        the fellow’s program is to educate, develop and inspire a networked community of rural health leaders who will step forward to serve in key positions in the      Rural Health Association of Tennessee, affiliated rural health advocacy groups and local and state rural health focused initiatives. The Rural Health Fellows      should be committed to advocating on behalf of rural health and should be dedicated to the RHA of TN’s mission.  The program will include a focus on              community-based health improvement programs and development of grassroots advocacy skills.  In addition, rural health fellows will demonstrate a                  continuous desire to learn new skills, advance their knowledge and serve their rural communities through advocacy and engagement efforts.  Come join us      and become a Rural Health Fellow of TN.
