Out-of-State Admissions Contract

The ºìÐÓÊÓƵ General Assembly requires the Heritage College to emphasize the training of family physicians for underserved areas within the state of ºìÐÓÊÓƵ. To assist in meeting this legislative mandate, non-ºìÐÓÊÓƵ residents are required to sign a service contract to complete the secondary application. The contract requires students to practice medicine for five years in ºìÐÓÊÓƵ upon completion of their residency training.

The signee agrees that their residency status will be determined according to the residency rules that are applicable at the time the individual signs the contract with ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. Furthermore, the signee understands that any changes in their residency status to that of an ºìÐÓÊÓƵ resident will not affect the binding nature of the contract.

Individuals who complete their entire graduate medical education (residency) program in an ºìÐÓÊÓƵ hospital may apply for credit toward the five-year requirement period.
