Collaborative Opportunities for Occupational Learning in Health (R-COOL-Health) Scrubs Program!
The Center for Rural Health offers three different Scrubs programs: the R-COOL-Health Scrubs Academy I, R-COOL-Health Scrubs Academy II, and the R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camps.
The R-COOL-Health Scrubs programs are opportunities for students to learn about careers in healthcare from healthcare professionals in fun, interactive ways. The Scrubs programs aim to increase awareness about multidisciplinary health careers and encourage students to pursue a career in healthcare.

R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camps
The R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camps are one-day camps in rural communities. A partnership that includes, at minimum, a local healthcare facility, economic or job development authority, and school work to create a one-day camp for students to learn about careers in healthcare from local healthcare professionals.
