Texas Funds Medical Training for Rural Needs | Texas News
Description
Governor Greg Abbott just poured $5.5 million into Texas medical schools to give students real-world clinical training before graduation—targeting rural and underserved areas hardest hit by doctor shortages. Through the Statewide Preceptorship Program, students get hands-on experience with mentors across the state, especially in primary care fields like pediatrics and family medicine. The goal? To reshape career paths and build a stronger pipeline of doctors for rural Texas, where access to care is most critical. Funding will flow to key organizations like the Texas Academy of Family Physicians to launch new student rotations and ensure every corner of the state gets the care it needs.
