(1) Scholarship
recipients must notify the Board of their intent to enter a graduate medical
education program prior to enrollment in that program in order to ensure that
recipients enter medical specialties deemed by the Board to be able to sustain
full time practices in rural communities in Georgia. For new scholarship awards
made after July 1, 2014, such specialties are limited to: Family Medicine,
General Internal Medicine, and General Pediatrics.
(2) Failure by the scholarship recipient, who
received their initial award after July 1, 2014, to enter into a Family
Medicine, General Internal Medicine or General Pediatrics graduate medical
education program shall constitute a breach of contract by the recipient and
will authorize the Board to seek cash repayment, plus all applicable damages
and fees.
(3) Payment of the
service obligation or monetary obligation of the scholarship contract is
deferred during the recipient's graduate medical education, provided the
scholarship recipient is enrolled in a graduate medical education program which
is officially recorded in the Board meeting minutes and provided the recipient
submits the annual report required by the contract. Failure to submit annual
reports required by the contract shall constitute a breach of contract by the
recipient.
(4) The annual report

information:
(a) Current contact information
including address, phone number, email address, social security number, name
change and other pertinent information;

Program Director, Department Chair, or other appropriate institutional official
indication that the recipient is enrolled in the graduate medical education
program in good standing.
(5) Scholarship recipients must secure Board
approval to change their graduate medical education program, including any
extension of training that is the result of pursuing training in a fellowship
or subspecialty.
(6) In instances
where a scholarship recipient fails to secure approval from the Board to change
or extend the graduate medical education program, the Board shall require the
recipient to begin practice in a Board approved community in the specialty
previously approved by the Board within 90 days of the scheduled completion of
the original graduate medical education program.
(7) Failure by the scholarship recipient to
begin practice within 90 days of the scheduled completion date of the original
graduate medical education program or within 90 days of a Board approved

and will authorize the Board to seek cash repayment, plus all applicable
damages and fees.
