Genuine primary-care intent plus outreach experience. Netter was founded specifically to produce primary care physicians, places students in underserved Connecticut communities early, and states it wants physicians who understand the social determinants of health. Interviews are two 30-minute one-on-one sessions — typically one student, one faculty — focused on motivation for medicine and mission fit, so an applicant needs to articulate why primary care rather than default to it.
Watch out: Claiming interest in underserved communities without outreach or health-equity experience to point to is the specific failure mode at a school whose interviews probe mission fit directly.
