The program is designed for students currently residing in rural areas of Mississippi who wish to return to those areas to practice medicine. Students are mentored throughout the program, from undergraduate to initial practice support and mentoring. Applicants must plan to complete an internship/residency program in one of the following primary care specialties: family medicine, combined medicine-pediatrics, pediatrics, general internal medicine or obstetrics-gynecology.
