The Rural Health Fellows program is a year-long, intensive training program that develops leaders who can articulate a clear and compelling vision for rural America.

Each year, the NRHA selects 10 to 15 highly motivated individuals who have dedicated their professional lives to improving the health of rural Americans. These Rural Health Fellows undergo an intensive year-long skillbuilding program, including three advanced leadership training seminars, attendance at several of NRHA's educational conferences, monthly conference calls on rural health leadership, policy and strategic planning, and a guided group project that will involve Fellows in the process of rural health policy analysis on a national level.
