Rural practice opportunities for residents and students
The 28th Annual Georgia Medical Fair, hosting 35 rural Georgia communities interested in recruiting physicians and dentists for future practice, will be held at the Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel Friday and Saturday, Sept. 8-9.
Participants can meet with prospective employers and attend seminars on topics ranging from practice management to issues facing rural physicians. The event, hosted by the State Medical Education Board of Georgia, has helped more than 400 physicians find practice sites in rural areas, and this year includes dentists. The board also offers financial assistance to promising students.
Medical and dental students who paid their registration before Aug. 24 will be reimbursed for one night’s lodging at the Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel by the board; residents and practicing physicians and dentists will be reimbursed for two nights. Participants will receive up to $200 in travel expenses.
Non-reimbursable registration fees are $75 for practicing physicians and dentists, $50 for residents and $25 for medical and dental students.
