Illinois Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) is excited to announce our fourth virtual student program, "Understanding and Serving America's Underserved".

IPHCA has hosted this program for the past 11 years. Through a virtual, self-paced format, we are excited to offer this program to even more students interested in pursuing a career serving the underserved.

“Understanding and Serving America’s Underserved” is a great way to learn more about why patients are underserved and programs designed to provide high quality care to these patients, specifically Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)/Community Health Centers (CHCs).

This self-paced virtual experience will include:

• Educational sessions about America’s medically underserved populations and the programs designed to provide high quality care to these patients, specifically Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)/Community Health Centers (CHCs)
• Presentations from current FQHC healthcare professionals with insight about working in this setting and the opportunity to ask them your questions
• In-depth presentations with examples about career opportunities and career pathways available in the FQHC setting
• Discussion of loan repayment opportunities available for licensed practitioners through FQHCs

Each participant who completes all of the modules will be eligible to win prizes. Not only is this event a great resume builder, IPHCA has helped many past student attendees connect with their current employers.

You will be emailed directions for how to access the online content. The content will launch February 14, 2024 and remain live until March 22, 2024.
