Dear Future Pediatricians in the Class of 2022:

The application for the Pediatrics Residency Rural Scholars Program is now open for all MS3's on all campuses. The attachment highlights the tremendous benefits for you if you are chosen to be one of Scholars.

Below is summary of three amazing benefits:

1. You will receive a $10,000 stipend applied to your Year 4 tuition
2. You will receive an IPad to enhance your studies and help with your Rural Scholars' project, which you design and lead to improve the lives of the children of WV and beyond
3. You will earn a position in the WVU Pediatrics Residency Program, thereby avoiding the need to interview during fall of your senior year, saving you up to $12,000 in travel and accommodation costs, eliminating the stress involved in waiting for the Match in March of 2022, and freeing up more time for more electives!

Please contact the Co-Directors of the Program if you have any questions and if you would like an application. Deadline for applications are January 31, 2021.

Thank-you,

Co-Directors of the Pediatrics Residency Rural Scholars Program
