Residency Incentive

This site is eligible for the TCWD Residency Incentive. The TCWD Residency Incentive is a financial incentive offered to medical residents in primary care (FM, IM, IM/Peds, Peds, OB/GYN) and behavioral health programs in exchange for a service commitment at a medically underserved practice site in Tennessee.

Applicants are eligible for either $105,000 or $140,000 based on a respective three-or-four-year length of residency. The financial incentive is paid on a quarterly basis for the length of residency, even if you are awarded the incentive later in your program. The post-graduate service commitments are also based on the length of residency (ex: if you are in a three-year residency and accept our financial incentive, then you owe us three years of a post-graduate service commitment). The service commitments are carried out in an area or population that has too few primary or mental health providers, and may include people who face economic, behavioral, cultural or linguistic barriers to healthcare. These medically underserved communities can be in rural or inner-city urban areas. These funds are unencumbered and can be used however the resident chooses. You must be a US Citizen or permanent resident to be eligible for this incentive.

This is a competitive program, only 5-7 applicants are selected each quarter.

Please note you can only apply for the incentive while in your residency program. Do not apply if you have not started your residency or you have graduated
