Georgia Code
Subpart 9 - Loans for Attendance at Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine
§ 20-3-475. Legislative Intent

The General Assembly finds that at times areas of the state have an inadequate supply of persons who are licensed to practice primary care medicine. It is the purpose of this subpart to increase the number of Georgia resident students who enroll in out-of-state colleges of osteopathic medicine in the hope that a substantial portion of that number will, following graduation, return to Georgia and practice primary care medicine in an approved medically underserved area of the state or approved hospital or facility and thereby provide an increased level of primary medical care available to the people of this state.
