Primary Care Excellence Pathway Path

This program has been supported by a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant (T99HP52112) designed to create an enhanced pathway for medical students training in underserved clinical sites with a focus on primary care and prepare them to practice amongst the underserved upon graduation. In addition to the current longitudinal, 4-year curriculum of the Primary Care Pathway, the ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ Whiddon College of Medicine (USACOM) in partnership with the Covey College of Allied Health Professions have developed a new post-baccalaureate program, the Primary Care Excellence Path (PRE-Path). The PRE-Path is designed to take college graduates from historically underrepresented groups or who have had formative experiences in historically underserved communities and better prepare them for the rigors of medical school so they will be more likely to succeed once admitted.

There are many exciting opportunities within this program. Students will be chosen for the Primary Care Excellence Path based on an interest in primary care and an anticipated willingness to commit to the practice following residency training. 

PRE-Path applications are now open. Please complete the supplemental application via the Google form below (in addition to the BMD graduate application in SLATE) if you are interested in the PRE-Path Program.
