Those 5 years are not necessarily after residency. The residency counts toward those 5 years if done in Ohio. An AOA Primary Care residency in OHIO will satisfy the requirement. 1.5 years per 1 year of AOA, PC, OH residency. If you do an allo-residency in OHIO, those years only count 1:1. So, if your residency is less than 5 years, you'll have a requirement to work in Ohio, after your residency. If you do an allo-residency specialty that requires more than 5 years, I believe you have met the requirement, too.
DORoe, am I correct? He/she knows more about this than me. Perhaps one of our OU-COM comrades can chime in here.
I really don't understand the contract, since there is no financial incentive to sign the contract. Does the contract help one get in-state tuition? If you go back on the contract, are you charged 4 years of OOS tuition then?
