Admissions Process
Idaho Rural Physician Incentive Program
All state supported Idaho medical education students entering in the Fall 2003 semester or thereafter, will be assessed a fee equal to 4% of the annual average medical support fee paid by the state.
The incentive fee collected by the State Board of Education will be deposited into the Rural Physician Incentive Fund to repay the educational debts of rural physicians who practice primary care medicine in medically underserved areas of the state that demonstrate a need for assistance in physician recruitment. The maximum amount of educational debt payment that a rural physician may receive is $50,000 over a five-year period. Debt repayment began in 2010.
