Demonstrated commitment to primary care and to rural or underserved communities, ideally in Ohio. The college's stated mission is educating physicians committed to practise in Ohio with an emphasis on primary care, and it runs dedicated rural programming (REACH, in rural southeast Ohio) plus an Office of Rural and Underserved Programs. Ranked 21st nationally and 1st in Ohio for graduates practising in rural areas.
Watch out: A research-heavy file with little clinical or community service reads as mission-mismatched here; the college engages in 'focused' research and does not compete as a research powerhouse.
