It’s our mission to produce more primary care physicians. Many of the students most likely to choose primary care don’t have the financial resources to get through medical school with reasonable levels of educational debt. The average debt for our graduating students is $145,000. As a young medical school, our fundraising activities are focused on providing student scholarship support. It’s essential to achieving our mission.
About our students: A quarter of them are from the Panhandle. Twenty-percent come from an economically challenged background. One-third are from backgrounds considered by the Association of American Medical Colleges to be underrepresented in medicine.
About our alumni: Twenty-five are living and practicing in the Big Bend or South Georgia. Eighteen are living and practicing in Tallahassee.
