MCDONALD SCHOLARS PROGRAM The McDonald Scholars Program provides the opportunity for interested residents to enhance their general pediatric experience in rural/underserved areas through a two-week immersion experience. Selected residents are paired with a pediatric practice in a rural and/or underserved area in Alabama, where they have the opportunity to be immersed in to the pediatric practice as well as the community being served, with the partnering pediatrician teaching, guiding and mentoring. The program is open to PGY-2 and PGY-3 pediatric and PGY-2 through PGY-4 med-peds residents and accepts applications in the spring.
