\n<\/TABLE>In the next admission cycle, the School of Allied Health Professions (SAHP) will expand its participation in the Rural Health Opportunities Program (RHOP) to Wayne State College (WSC). <\/p>\n

Previously, the SAHP, unlike the other UNMC colleges, has only provided RHOP positions for students at Chadron State College. <\/p>\n

The addition of 10 total positions in the SAHP physical therapy, physician assistant, clinical laboratory science and radiography education programs represents a 70 percent increase in available RHOP positions. <\/p>\n

“The expansion of the allied health RHOP to Wayne State College is an indication of the SAHP’s commitment to both the education and health of rural Nebraskans,” said Kyle Meyer, Ph.D., associate dean of the UNMC School of Allied Health Professions.<\/p>\n

“The need for rural health professionals continues to grow and RHOP is critical to meeting our future demands for rural health professions,” said Dave Peitz, Ph.D., coordinator of the RHOP program at Wayne State College. “We are delighted in the UNMC School of Allied Health Professions’ decision to add allied health opportunities at Wayne State.”<\/p>\n

RHOP, which began in 1989, encourages rural residents to pursue health care careers. If selected, students obtain early admission into participating UNMC programs upon completion of their studies at Chadron State or Wayne State College.<\/p>\n
