Students who complete a program of study from the Department of Physical and Life Sciences:
The Rural Health Opportunities Program (RHOP) is a cooperative program between Chadron State College (CSC) and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). The purpose of the program is to recruit and educate traditional and non-traditional students from rural Nebraska who will return to practice in the rural areas of the state. This program represents a commitment and dedication to the education of Nebraskans and to provide quality health care to the citizens of the state. RHOP currently has options in medicine, dentistry, dental hygiene, pharmacy, medical technology, physical therapy, nursing, physician assistant, and radiography. Admission into each option of the program is competitive. Each participant accepted into the program receives automatic admission into the designated professional program upon successful completion of the appropriate curriculum at CSC. For information, application forms, admissions criteria, criteria for evaluation of progress in the program, and programs of study please contact the Health Professions Office at CSC.
Includes three years of study at CSC, three months of study in the student clinical laboratory at UNMC in Omaha or Kearney, Nebraska, and nine months of clinical laboratory experiences in Omaha or at selected clinical sites in central and western Nebraska. The student will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology from UNMC upon successful completion of this four year program.
