CORE Program
this program is funded through a grant from the state of minnesota
$250,000 each year from the workforce development fund is for a grant to the Rural Cancer Institute for a pilot program to expand the clinical workforce specific to oncology care in rural districts. This program may work to increase the number of cancer care clinicians in rural districts and provide health care students with skills critical to the challenges of providing cancer care in a rural setting using a community-based model. The community-based model may work to grow the oncology clinical workforce in rural districts and directly address the cancer care workforce shortage in rural districts.
