The Mountain Health Consortium of the West Virginia Rural Health Education Partnerships program covers 10 counties in north-central West Virginia. The ten counties are divided by geographic proximity among two Site Coordinators who arrange rural clinical rotations and community outreach activities for students of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, and other allied health professions.

As part of the West Virginia Rural Health Education Partnerships program, students from the afore mentioned programs at West Virginia University, Marshall University, and The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine must complete at least three months of clinical rotations in the rural areas of the state in order to graduate. Mountain Health Consortium is one of 9 consortia around the state that facilitates these rural placements.
