                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 30, 2020

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Deshauntra Green-Johnson, a Fayette native and junior at the University 
of Mississippi. She was recently selected to participate in the 
undergraduate portion of the Mississippi Rural Physicians Scholarship 
Program (MRPSP). Deshauntra is the daughter of Hugh and Guy Green.
  The MRPSP identifies college sophomores and juniors who demonstrate 
the necessary commitment and academic achievement to become competent, 
well-trained rural primary care physicians in the state of Mississippi. 
The program offers undergraduate academic enrichment and a clinical 
experience in a rural setting. Upon completion of all the medical 
school admission requirements, the student can use the scholarship at 
the University of Mississippi School of Medicine or William Carey 
University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
  Upon completion of medical school, MRPSP scholars must enter a 
residency program in one of five primary care specialties: family 
medicine, general internal medicine, pediatrics, medicine-pediatrics, 
or obstetrics/gynecology. The MRPSP Scholar must provide four years of 
service in a clinic-based practice in an approved Mississippi community 
of 15,000 or fewer population located more than 20 miles from a 
medically served area.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and 
congratulating Deshauntra Green-Johnson on her acceptance into the 
Mississippi Rural Physicians Scholarship Program at the University of 
Mississippi.
