The health system teamed up with several community partners to develop what is called the Aspirus Scholars Program, which will award between $70,000 to $150,000 to medical students and advanced practice provider students for tuition. In return, the students must commit to employment in primary care, psychiatry or general surgery with Aspirus for at least three to five years.
“This is a collaborative effort to address the health needs of people and position communities to prosper from the economic value that a full complement of medical providers offers beyond the provision of patient care,” John Tubbs, Aspirus Health Foundation board chair, said in a statement. “I’m proud to be working with our community partners to secure the next generation of providers to care for our families and friends.”
