In addition to undergraduate academic enrichment and support, MRPSP provides clinical experience and mentoring from practicing rural physicians. Students who complete all medical school requirements can be admitted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center or William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Upon completion of medical school, scholars must enter a residency program in one of six primary care specialties鈥攆amily medicine, general internal medicine, pediatrics, medicine-pediatrics, psychiatry or obstetrics/gynecology. Four years of service in a clinic-based practice in a program-approved, rural Mississippi community also is required.

Consistent legislative support of MRPSP translates to 61 medical students receiving a total of $1.8 million to support their education this fall.
