3 Rural Medical Scholars Program The Rural Medical Scholars Program is an opportunity for high school students between their junior and senior years to learn more about a career as a family medicine physician. This intense, rigorous program will give you a chance to check out the academic requirements for becoming a physician. You will also take a look at the day-to-day practice of medicine. As a Rural Medical Scholar, you will be part of a 5-week summer program at Mississippi State University. You will take two pre-med courses (Biology and Sociology), spend four afternoons shadowing a physician in a clinical setting, visit the University of Mississippi Medical School, and participate in events geared to the interests of young, aspiring physicians like you. To help launch your college career, a study skills workshop for gifted students will kick off the program. Outstanding students from throughout Mississippi will be selected to participate. It will be a summer to remember the summer you started on the path to becoming a member of the Medical School Class of 2024! Sounds good, but I was planning to work this summer. Consider this: Except for a nominal $60 registration fee (due after official acceptance), Scholars receive tuition, housing, and textbooks during the program! That s a $3,400 value! Plus, you get a head start on college expenses with 7 hours of college credit behind you. You will be responsible for food expenses. The program will run from May 31 through July 6, As a Scholar, you will be required to stay on campus throughout each week. You will return home on the weekends. 3
