Mississippi residency plus credible rural intent. The state legislature created the Mississippi Rural Physicians Scholarship Program to identify rural college students who will return to practise, and its criteria are instructive about what the school values: legal Mississippi residency, a primary-care residency plan, and evidence of likely rural practice based on residence in or experience with rural and medically underserved communities. The school also states a commitment to social justice, equality and inclusiveness.
Watch out: No Mississippi tie is the dominant barrier. An in-state applicant with no rural or underserved experience meets residency but not the intent the state's own scholarship pipeline is designed to identify.
