RIIN introduces healthcare students to the realities of providing care in rural Alaska. Students spend the beginning of the program in Anchorage, learning about Alaskan culture and meeting with healthcare professionals to hear about their experiences. Participants are then paired with healthcare professionals from around the state to obtain hands-on experience in rural Alaska communities. The program ends back in Anchorage, where students present their experiences and lessons learned.

The program fees cover lodging, transportation, airfare to rural sites, instruction, and supplies. The Alaska Center for Rural Health and Health Workforce will cover some meals during the portion of the program in and near Anchorage. However, students are responsible for all other meals, round-trip airfare to Anchorage, background checks, and any necessary vaccinations.
