Community Match Rural Physician Recruitment Program

This program was created in 2007 and replaces the Community Match Student Loan and Scholarship program.  The purpose of the program is to assist medically underserved communities in Arkansas with physician recruitment.  This program offers an added financial incentive to physicians willing to commit to practice in rural Arkansas.

How it works:  A physician who is either in their residency or no more than two years out of residency, and a Rural Community in Arkansas may jointly apply.  The physician agrees to practice Primary Care  in the community for a period of four years.  In return, the community agrees to pay the physician an additional $10,000 per year and the State pays $10,000 per year for a total of $80,000 for four years.
