UW-Parkside pre-med students Ambria Noll, Brianca Ruffolo, Edgar Montejo, Elizabeth Jackson, Julia Alberth and Yasmeen Rayyan continue the tradition of Parkside Pre-Med students being accepted to the UW School of Medicine and Public Health RUSCH program.
The Rural and Urban Scholars in Community Health (RUSCH) program prepares students to work in underserved rural and urban areas of Wisconsin after medical school. Since 2012, 28 UW-Parkside pre-med students have been accepted to the RUSCH program. Ninety percent of UW-Parkside’s Health Sciences’ pre-med students are accepted to medical school – more than double the national average.
