This program gives health professions students in Wisconsin an opportunity to become immersed in Wisconsin's diverse communities and cultures while they explore healthcare delivery and public health in medically underserved areas and learn from students in other disciplines.

The program offers several multi-day sessions during winter, spring, and summer breaks throughout the year. Session topics are provided on the program website. Sessions are offered on different dates and formats, including in-person, virtual, or hybrid formats.

There is a one-credit online course open to all students participating in this program administered through University of Wisconsin–Madison. Additional assignments will be given in addition to the regular AHEC Community Health Immersion programming to meet the 45-hour requirement for a credit.

All students enrolled in health professions programs in Wisconsin are welcome to apply.

The program fee is $200 for in-person immersions or $50 for virtual immersions.

For in-person immersions, the fee includes housing, most meals, and transportation between locations during in-person portions of immersions.

Additional information and a link to the online application are available on the program website.
