| (a) The department sends the ranked profiles of all
registered resident physicians to all the registered communities,
and the ranked profiles of all registered communities to the registered
resident physicians.
(b) Upon receipt of the profiles, eligible communities
and eligible physicians may contact each other to determine if the
community is suitable for the physician and the physician is suitable
for the community. Once a match between a community and a physician
is made, the community and the physician complete a joint application
and submit it to the department by the deadline provided in the request
for applications.
(c) Resident physicians and communities making a match
prior to initiating the registration process may both jointly register
and apply simultaneously. The department will not distribute the ranked
profiles of these matched resident physicians and communities to the
pool of unmatched ranked registered resident physicians and communities.
(d) The department reviews the joint applications and
awards stipends to resident physicians matched with communities ranked
as having the greatest need for a primary care physician.
