The program is for currently licensed physicians, residents and fellows who are enrolled Medi-Cal providers and commit to maintaining a 30% Medi-Cal caseload. Each candidate is eligible for up to $300,000 based on a five-year service obligation. $190 million has been set aside for physicians over the next five years. Please share the following link if you are involved with an organization that has a sufficient Medi-Cal caseload or if you know of a colleague who would qualify. Webinars have begun this week and the application period is April 1 through April 26. For more information CLICK HERE. I'd also like to encourage you to join us at the next San Diego County Medical Society Physician Networking Opportunity and Mixer at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in La Mesa on April 18th. This always worthwhile event runs from 5:30-8:00pm and is a great chance to reacquaint with colleagues and make new connections with your fellow physicians. Spouses and Significant Others are welcome. CLICK HERE to RSVP. As always, let me know if you have any questions!
