Nurturing the Student, Sustaining the Mission: 20 Years of the International/Inner-City/Rural Preceptorship Program.

CONCLUSIONS: I2CRP graduates are more likely to match to family medicine and primary care. I2CRP curriculum nurtures new medical students' interest in primary care, and self-determination theory provides a framework to organize the program curriculum. The program's impact endures as evidenced by participants' continued work in underserved areas after residency. Increasing support for such programs may help address the primary care physician shortage in medically underserved areas. PMID: 31722099 [PubMed - in process]
