Financial Support for Medical Students

The RPAP offers two financial support initiatives to medical students: the Rural Medical School Award and the John N. Hnatuik Rural Medical Student Bursary.

These two initiatives aim to encourage students who come from a designated rural area to pursue a career in rural medicine by reducing their financial burden.

The John N. Hnatuik Rural Medical Student Bursary is described on its web page.

The RPAP Rural Medical School Award is described on its web page.
