The North Carolina SEARCH Project is a collaborative among Eastern AHEC (part of the NC AHEC Program), the Office of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Education, the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, Office of Rural Health and Community Care, North Carolina Community Health Center Association, and various North Carolina Health agencies charged with improving the recruitment and retention of health professionals in underserved, rural areas.

The goal of this project is to provide health profession students opportunities to learn collaboratively and experience work with underserved populations in an effort to improve recruitment efforts to these areas. To accomplish this goal, the following objectives are proposed:

SEARCH Scholars participation in an interprofessional online graduate course to learn skills in interprofessional team based care (including team treatment plans), community health assessment, and prevention in the context of rural health.

Summer immersion experience in which scholars spend two weeks in a FQHC conducting interprofessional clinical care and implementing the team health intervention designed during the online course.

This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration.
