Kentucky ties and rural primary-care intent. KYCOM states that qualified Kentucky applicants are given preference in accordance with its mission of educating physicians trained in rural primary care, and it was founded specifically to relieve the primary-care shortage in rural eastern Kentucky. Appalachian background or sustained rural service maps directly onto that purpose. The school also emphasises that students admitted with few financial resources should have the same opportunities as anyone else.
Watch out: No Kentucky or Appalachian connection, or no stated primary-care direction, leaves an applicant outside the preference the school publishes.
