Each participating resident receives $1,000 per month with a month for month practice obligation in an underserved rural community upon completion of the residency program. A minimum of one year service is required.

A rural Oklahoma community may provide Practice Incentive funds, matched by HWTC, to any qualified primary care physician (FP, IM, Ped, OB, GS, ER) in establishing a full-time practice. The physician repays the scholarship/loan by practicing medicine in that community.
