Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 23-35.3, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:
§ 23-35.3. (a) Before any scholarship is awarded under the pro-
visions of § 23-35.1 (a), the applicant must sign a written contract, under
the terms of which he agrees to pursue the medical course of the school
awarding the scholarship, or the medical course at the school at which
the scholarship is awarded, until his graduation and, upon graduating
and completing a term not to exceed two years as an interne at some
hospital or institution approved by the school, shall promptly begin and
thereafter engage continuously in the general practice of medicine in a
rural community in Virginia of his selection, but his selection shall be
from one approved by the State Health Commissioner and by the State
Board of Health, for a period of years equal in number to the years
which he has been a beneficiary of such scholarship, provided that one
year’s internship in any rural hospital in the State of Virginia selected
by the State Health Commissioner and approved by the State Board of
Health or in any institution operated by the Department of Mental Hy-
giene and Hospitals shall be considered equivalent to one year’s practice
of medicine in a rural community. The foregoing shall apply only to con-
tracts made or entered into prior to July 1, 1954.
(b) Before any scholarship is awarded under the provisions of
§ 23-35.1 (b), the applicant must sign a written contract, under which
he agrees to pursue the dental course of the school awarding the scholar-
ship, or the dental course at the school at which the scholarship is
awarded, until his graduation and, upon graduating shall promptly be-
gin and thereafter engage continuously in the general practice of dentis
try in some mental institution, or in the public health service or as an
employee of the State Health Department in the State of Virginia, for a
period of years equal in number to the years which he has been a bene-
ficiary of such scholarship; provided that if the Commissioner of Mental
Hygiene and Hospitals certifies that no suitable vacancy exists in any
State mental institution, then the obligation of such contract may be
discharged by compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraph (a)
of this section.
(d) After July 1, 1954, no scholarship shall be awarded under the
provisions of § 23-35.1 (a) unless and until the applicant shall have signed
a written contract under the terms of which he agrees to pursue
the medical course of the school awarding the scholarship, or the medi-
cal course at the school for which the scholarship is awarded, until his
graduation and upon graduation and completing a term not to exceed two
years as an intern at some hospital or institution approved by the school,
shall promptly begin and thereafter engage continuously in the general
practice of medicine in a rural community of Virginia for a period of years
equal to the number of years which he has been a beneficiary of such
scholarship. As used herein the terms “general practice of medicine”
and “rural community” shall conform to definitions thereof promulgated
by the State Health Commissioner. The State Health Commissioner may,
in his discretion, direct that all or any portion of the obligations imposed
by such contract be discharged by appointment and service in the public
health service of the State or by service in any institution operated by
the Department of Mental Hygiene and Hospitals.*
_ (e) In the event the holder of any medical or dental school scholar-
ship awarded pursuant to §§ 28-35.1 through 23-85.8 of this chapter dies
while receiving instruction under such a scholarship, any balance unpaid
and agreed to be repaid by the holder thereof shall be deemed paid, and no
hability shall be attached to his estate.
