Rural Reflections of Appalachia: A Qualitative Study of Health Professional Students’ Experiences from a Rural Immersion Experience in West Virginia
Rural immersions provide a rich understanding of cultural identities, health systems, and health issues in a specific rural environment. Through the immersive experience, students identified future practice considerations, placed context to stigma and its effect on health, and concretely demonstrated interprofessional resources in rural clinical practice.
