Alaskan Exposure
The SEARCH Alaskan Exposure program gives students in a primary health care profession an opportunity to complete a clinical rotation within an underserved community within Alaska. Teaming up with primary care providers, students have the opportunity to experience primary care first-hand. Most sites are remote and offer a cultural immersion as well. Eligible students include: physician assistant students, nurse practitioner students, masters in social work students and medical students and residents. Rotations are generally 4 weeks long and, depending on costs, most travel and housing is covered. This program is possible through a collaboration of communities, health care facilities, health care practitioners and academic institutions.
