1994 SESSION
HB 716 Medical scholarships.
Introduced by: Julia A. Connally | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Southwest Virginia Medical Scholarships. Removes the requirement that students seeking a Southwest Virginia Medical Scholarship reside in Southwest Virginia but gives Southwest Virginia residents a preference. In the current law, applicants for the Southwest Virginia scholarship program must be domiciled in Virginia (see § 32.1-122.5:1); however, applicants for the primary medical scholarship program (see § 32.1-122.6) who are Virginia residents are simply given preference over nonresidents in determining scholarship eligibility and awards. The jurisdictions included in Southwest Virginia are defined in this bill as Planning Districts one, two, and three; therefore, the Southwest Virginia scholarship recipients will be required to serve in these areas. The Board of Health is directed to reallocate annually any remaining funds from this scholarship initiative and from the Virginia Medical Scholarship Program among the schools participating in the two scholarship programs--East Tennessee State University, the Medical College of Virginia, the University of Virginia, and the Medical College of Hampton Roads--in proportion to their need, for additional medical scholarships for eligible students. Established in 1992 to increase access to primary care in Southwest Virginia (East Tennessee State University is much closer than any of Virginia's three medical schools), the Southwest Virginia Medical Scholarship Program currently awards medical scholarships to students attending the Quillen School of Medicine at East Tennessee State University who agree to practice in a designated family practice specialty in a medically underserved area of Southwest Virginia. The amount and number of scholarships is determined by the appropriations act. The 1992-1994 biennium budget included $400,000 for forty medical scholarships in the second budget year (1994 fiscal year), four of which were designated for Virginia residents attending the School of Medicine at East Tennessee University (see § 1-87, item 308, 1993 Appropriation Act).
