  • The AGSP provides full tuition, fees, and a living stipend as a forgivable loan to students committing to Geisinger in primary care or psychiatry post-residency.
  • The program includes preferential clinical placements, enhanced curriculum, and support for a dedicated cohort, with opt-out provisions.
  • Outcomes monitored include program withdrawals, academic performance, participant satisfaction, loan repayment vs. service fulfillment, and long-term retention in primary care.

Main Results:

  • The AGSP supports 45 students per class, offering financial aid and specialized training.
  • Monitoring tracks student commitment, academic success, and program satisfaction.
  • Key metrics focus on workforce retention and the program's impact on the primary care physician supply.

Conclusions:

  • The AGSP model provides significant financial support and enhanced primary care curriculum, attracting students to needed specialties.
