Black Belt students are among 35 who are taking part in the University of Alabama's Minority Rural Health Scholars Program and the Rural Health Scholars Program.
The programs are part of the UA College of Community Health Sciences' Rural Health Leaders Pipeline where students spend five weeks in preparation to enter education and training.
“I always look forward to meeting a new group of students each summer,” said Cynthia Moore, assistant director of the CCHS Rural Scholars Programs. “They are a great group of young people who are eager to learn about rural health care. It is great to see how much each person grows from the first day to the last day.”
Minority Rural Health Scholars from the Black Belt are Danya Jones of Demopolis and Zamaria Richardson, also of Demopolis.
Rural Health Scholars are Blanca Alarcon of Demopolis, Sariyah Dickerson of Greenville, Sandra Hall of Highland Home, Alyssia Smith of Cuba and Diamond White of Eutaw.
