Rural Health Policy Internships
The Rural Health Policy Internships include compensation for two merit-based internship opportunities per year for Shepherd students who are interested in rural health and health policy. The internships may take place at either of two organizations: the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), which allows students to learn about federal and state programs that exist to support rural communities, or the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), the principal membership organization in the nation for rural health policy. These annually funded awards were created by Dr. Marcia K. Brand, who spent six years directing the FORHP. Upon leaving the government in 2015, Dr. Brand also served as deputy administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In this career civil servant role, she served as second in command of a 1,800-person agency with an $11 billion budget. Rural health policy is a passion for Dr. Brand, who made a ten-year commitment to fund these internship opportunities as a way to facilitate a better understanding of the industry among Shepherd students wishing to pursue careers in health policy.
