TCWD Residency Incentive Program Application
The Residency Incentive Program offers $105,000 to primary care residents in a 3-year residency and $140,000 to those in a 4-year residency program, in exchange for an equal length commitment to serve in a rural area or with an underserved population in Tennessee.
Are you eligible to apply to this program?
Must be a current primary care resident (FM, IM, Peds, OBGYN, Psych). Must be in good standing with your residency program. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Need help determining if the area of TN you are looking at is truly rural?
This program is designed to support residents who are wanting to work in a rural or with an underserved population in the state of TN. Urban practice sites need to see at least 30% TennCare/uninsured patients to be considered for this program. Visit the HRSA Rural Health Analyzer to determine if a site is rural: https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/rural-health
