About the Digital Rural Health Corps (DRHC)
Today, access to healthcare depends not just on having internet service—but on knowing how to use it. The AMSA Digital Rural Health Corps bridges this gap by working with local leaders and residents to build comfort and confidence with telehealth, online health records, and digital tools. Together, we can make sure everyone—no matter where they live—can get the care they need, when they need it. About AMSA: The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) is the nation’s oldest and largest Independent association of physicians-in-training. AMSA is committed to advancing healthcare equity, innovation, and hands-on solutions in partnership with communities.
