WVU School of Medicine Rural Track Program

Mission in Action

The goal of the Rural Track program is to increase the number of primary care physicians who enter and remain in practice in rural West Virginia, specifically in the areas of emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and pediatrics.

Students who enroll in the track receive financial incentives for rural shadowing experiences, an opportunity to connect with established mentors and community leaders, and a comprehensive understanding about how to be successful while practicing in medically underserved areas. More than $900,000 in scholarship dollars have been awarded to date.
