I am looking at the list of CHC schools, and the underserved hospital I work at is not on the list. Does anyone know if we can use places not on the CHC list? Or does anyone know where I can find out this info? Thanks!! You can use a CHC that is not on the list but it needs to be a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and part of NACHC. You can go on the ATSU website, fill out the form with your contact and include your question and they will get back to you.

Our program was adjusting as we had our first cohort moving through the 1st year while at the same time trying to conduct interviews. Hopefully there will be no hiccups and you all will hear back in the Spring (if not sooner). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riley12 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I’m reaching out to a facility to see if they can endorse me to be a hometown scholar. Has anyone else done this? How are we supposed to go about this? The facility I’ve been talking to does not seem to be too familiar with Hometown Scholars. Any help is very appreciated!!

757PTAtoPA Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Has anybody received an interview invite yet? There was a post on another thread for this program from a faculty member that mentioned invites being sent out at the end of October.

salwarahaman Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I see that the application for this program is due April 1, 2023. Is that for the class that would start that fall, or the following fall (2024)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riley12 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 How is everyone approaching CHC’s? It’s hard to find an email for the locations, and I’m not sure how to contact anyone about a letter of endorsement. The only thing I’ve been able to do is go to the CHC facility in person, then I am given contact information, but then no one responds to my emails. I am curious if other people are having luck if you are trying to be a hometown scholar. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jom16 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hi everyone! When trying to become endorsed as a Hometown Scholar, is there a certain form or anything that needs to be filled out? Ive contacted CHC's in SLO where I went to undergrad, but in order to report back to the school that I have been endorsed I want to take the right steps. Any info would be so helpful thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I received a Hometown Scholar endorsement and was accepted to ATSU in Mesa, Arizona but also applied to the central coast campus. I work for a CHC and contacted our Regional Director of Medical Education who was the one that wrote the endorsement, after an interview with her, and sent it directly to the school. No form. I’m still waiting to hear back from CCPA after the supplemental so I can’t confirm if they received the endorsement. I believe the CHC’s on the fact sheet below have direct partnership with ATSU if that’s helpful. https://www.atsu.edu/pdf/ashs-pa-2022-final.pdf Edited November 5, 2022 by Maded62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it’s required to work for a CHC in order to receive an endorsement letter? I haven’t had any luck in contacting any facilities. I work at a small hospital in an underserved area but it is not a CHC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omeldonia Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I have applied in July and have not heard back yet.

I spoke to somebody within their admissions department recently and they are updating their online portal system, and as a result they are not expecting to have any invites sent out until the beginning of 2023. I assume they're planning for sometime early-mid January, but who knows! Good luck!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
