At the Little Kanawha Area Consortium, RHEP students are given the opportunity to interact with other students as well as health providers in interdisciplinary sessions. Led by students and mentors, these sessions allow the student to learn problem solving skills while interacting with other disciplines. The formation of a team helps students to make better decisions by learning to look at problems from different perspectives and to work together in providing the best health care possible. Our IDS sessions are held every Wedensday from 9:00 - 11:00 am or 2:00 - 4:00 pm. They are usually held in our sub-site in Ellenboro at the High/middle school. Some are held in Grantsville at Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center in the Education Room.

To better appreciate a rural setting, students are asked to perform or participate in some community activities. These may range from giving presentations at local schools to visiting a local rural business or participating in a local health fair. In addition, the student is given the chance to increase his/her knowledge base by participating in some type of research project. The project is determined by community need.

Students in the program are involved in various aspects of health care such as care at Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center, emergency room medicine at Sistersville General Hospital and MHHCC, performing various screening such as ESPDT, HIV and Cancer screening, and managing acute care inpatients ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics at all facilities.
