SOUTH CAROLINA CENTER FOR RURAL

Our program aligns with the South Carolina Rural Health Action Plan, as we aim to address "access to and availability of health services" and "coordinates and establishes resource development opportunities to address workforce development"... Our team also aims to develop interprofessional health practice, workforce retention & capacity building briefs, webinar trainings, and this website for current students, graduates and community professionals in rural areas... In 2017-2018, as part of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine's ICARED rural health initiative, our faculty team trained 77 social work and other health profession students in rural health practice and skills, conducted 9 trainings across South Carolina that reached almost 140 health professionals, and created resources related to rural health and the recruitment and retention of behavioral health practitioners in rural SC for state agencies.
