| Abstract | Turtle Mountain Community College (TMCC) in North Dakota recognized the need for health education access and the benefits of training American Indian healthcare professionals in a rural setting, thus leading the college to pursue Health Profession Opportunity grants (HPOG) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Health Education Access through Rural Training (HEART) Project is the second five-year HPOG the college received. The program was created in 2010 with the intent to provide students with the education and training for occupations in the healthcare field that pay well and are expected to experience labor shortages in the near future. TMCC currently offers programs that lead to careers as a phlebotomist, medical laboratory technician (MLT), patient access specialist, medical administrative assistant, personal trainer, and a health and fitness technician. TMCC also offers certificate programs for pharmacy technicians, nursing assistants, medication assistants, prevention and care of athletic injuries specialists, and sports nutrition specialists. Through HEART Project funds, students enrolled in these programs can receive incentives such as books, transportation and pre-paid gas cards, childcare assistance, weekly meal tickets, assistance with federal student aid and PELL grant applications, counseling and advising, tutoring services, case management services, basic skills courses, job preparation, and transition to employment assistance. The TMCC HEART Project provides the educational training that students need to serve their own communities, as well as the needs of the country at large, in the healthcare setting. graduates from the HEART Project are currently fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in a variety of ways.
