Be sure you are registered for the Spring Semester!

We are excited for your residency interview season! Please reach out to Student Services if you have any questions or concerns about the process for you. We are here to help!

We have been alerted that WVU leadership has modified their guidance for WVU students and employees that relates to domestic travel outside of WV: https://www.wvu.edu/return-to-campus/what-you-need-to-know/travel

Students may continue to submit requests to leave the state to clerkship directors. The Campus Deans will assist clerkship directors with all requests. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students exposed to Covid and awaiting a test result, for example, would certainly be approved for remote learning. Much depends on why students are requesting time-off or for out-of-state travel

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
