Fellows in RIHT will benefit from the same mentorship support, didactic curriculum, leadership courses, and career development support the traditional two-year program.
RIHT fellows will spend a total of two-thirds of their year honing clinical skills by providing care in under-resourced and culturally distinct settings with our domestic indigenous partners in Alaska or South Dakota. The other one-third of their year will be dedicated to a scholarly project within the community they are serving clinically. Their clinical experience will double as an additional opportunity in building rapport and understanding with the community, patients, and health system.
