Sustained, hands-on clinical exposure and a genuine primary-care or rural orientation matter more here than research; a stated interest in family medicine is a real plus.
Watch out: A research-heavy, primary-care-light profile is a mismatch for this school's explicit family-medicine and rural-care focus.
