The McDonald Scholars Program will place selected PGII-IV residents in an established rural and/or underserved pediatric practice in Alabama for an immersive experience as an observer and patient caregiver coordinated by Dr. Candice Dye. Additional goals include the following:

• To provide and engage residents in a different underserved population

• To strengthen the General Pediatric experience of our residents

• To inspire and possibly peak interest in a rural-type practice

• To honor the generous giving of Dr. and Mrs. Jack McDonald

Congratulations to our group of selected scholars:
