Program Overview:

The AHEC Primary Care Summer Observership offers first-year IUSM medical students 4-and 8-week preclinical primary care opportunities across the state. These experiences give students a deeper understanding of rural and urban health care, caring for underserved populations, the importance of safety-net organizations and the challenges and rewards of this work and setting.

The AHEC Primary Care Summer Observership pays a stipend of $1500 for a 4-week experience and $3000 for an 8-week experience. Applicants should indicate on the application cover page their preference for either a 4-week or 8-week experience with the understanding that these are only preferences.

Applicants must have their own transportation and housing in the area/s where they apply. Housing is NOT provided. Applicants should indicate on the application cover page those counties that would be within driving distance given his/her housing situation.

This is a competitive application process with selection based on experience, interest in underserved populations, and flexibility in placement location.
