Reimbursement for Rural Residency Rotations
The National Rural Health Association, with funding through the Rural Training Track Technical Assistance Program, offers reimbursement for travel and/or lodging to medical students that complete a rotation at an RTT’s rural site and travel stipends to support spouse or significant other travel for medical students to interview at RTT programs.
Other Opportunities
Loan repayment programs are available for health care providers practicing in rural and underserved areas. Some programs give directly to the student, resident or practitioner. Others give to training programs or health care systems, which then provide funds to students, residents or practitioners as recruitment and retention tools.
There are also grants and scholarships available. To see if you qualify for federal financial aid, submit a free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
