Admission Requirements:
• Students admitted to the Rural Track meet the same academic requirements as others admitted to the School of Medicine in terms of their college GPA, MCAT scores etc.
• A strong interest in eventually living and practicing medicine in a rural area is an important selection criterion. Usually, this means a strong interest in practicing a primary care specialty such as Family Medicine or General Internal Medicine, but may also include students interested in General Pediatrics, OB-Gyn, Emergency Medicine or General Surgery.
• Most, but not all, students accepted into the rural track have lived in a rural area.
• The application process provides a means for students to express and explain these interests. (See "How to apply.)
