4C Health is announcing the implementation of a rural Indiana Pre-Med Summer Internship Immersive starting in the summer of 2027.
This immersive experience for pre-med students will cover Cass, Miami, Fulton, Pulaski, White, Howard, and Tipton counties spanning psychiatry and primary care services. This will be an 8-week experience, covering onsite and virtual care, requiring 16 hours per week. The summer internship will have an associated stipend to support students interested in participating. Applications will become available for submission starting in February
2027 and will be a competitive selection process.
“At 4C Health we are focused on the long game of workforce development. The number of pre-med students who have grown-up or are currently living in our rural communities shows us a clear path to early engagement. I was shocked to find when researching this area, the relative absence of
structured pre-med internships available in Indiana. If we want to build rural healthcare workforce, it starts at home in our rural communities with the youth that are envisioning a medical future.
Showing them that the work future they desire and the rural life they love can fit together. This is what we do every day with our Master’s level behavioral health students and it has worked. It was time to do take a page from that playbook and apply it to pre-med students,” said Carrie Cadwell, CEO of 4C Health.
Dr Kathleen Miller, Chief Medical Officer added, “Dreams of becoming a doctor started for me in middle school. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania as well as being the first person in my family to ever even go to college, it was a process quite unknown to my family and myself. Being healthy, I had rarely seen my family doctor, let alone had ever even met a psychiatrist. What a gift it would have been as a pre-med student to be able to do a summer immersive experience in medicine. Now as a physician, I have been able to give some exposure to these young hungry minds and have
seen how this kindles their interest and drive to do the years of challenging work it takes to become a doctor. 4C has long been a leader in immersing ourselves in our local communities on so many levels. This program will be one more example of how giving back to the people you serve has ripple effects that benefit everyone.”
