MARQUETTE, Mich. (WBUP) Earlier this year, six medical students from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine UP Campus received the Mazzuchi Scholarship.
The retired doctor humbly reminds every recipient of the scholarship where the support comes from. The money for the scholarship comes from local business owners providing donations as well as residents putting a portion of their will or estate into the funding.
A large number of physicians who were being paid to teach even put their own paychecks into the scholarship. The fabric of the Upper Peninsula is built on helping one another.
The students who receive this scholarship understand the need for health care accessibility in the Upper Peninsula. Rural physicians face unique challenges and are characterized by their hard work and passion for the career. These skills are critical for an area with specialized needs such as the U.P.

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WBUP) A local physicians program is helping train new doctors to deal with the unique challenges of rural health.
Rural areas like the Upper Peninsula have unique health challenges including weather, distance, access, economics, and a crucial shortage of doctors and specialists. The lack of doctors and specialists in the Upper Peninsula is why the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Upper Peninsula Campus is such an asset to our community.
The campus was established in 1974 and is a pioneer of the Rural Physician Program. Medical students complete their last two years of medical training in rural locations across the Upper Peninsula. A benefit for the future doctors as well as the communities they serve.
