Applicants must be at least a first year resident in a family practice, general internal medicine or general pediatrics residency program in the state of Kansas. Applications will be accepted by Rural Health Education and Services, KU School of Medicine, from July 1 to December 31 of each year.
Application is initiated by filling out a resident profile form.
Rural Health Education and Services will verify the eligibility of each applicant. All eligible applicants will be placed in a pooled drawing on the second Monday in January. A number will be assigned to each applicant in the order the applicant is drawn from the pool. A resident does not have to have a community selected to be eligible for participation in the drawing. Applicants will be enrolled in the Kansas Bridging Plan by numeric order until all loan funds are committed.
