I believe this is what the Rural Scholars program is at LSUMC. 3rd and 4th year is more focused on IM or Family Practice instead or the normal rotations. I think a scholarship covers part of the tuition as well.

This isnt accelerated training. The length is the same, it's just focused more on primary care. The 3rd year is identical with the 4th year being primary care focused. This doesnt change the requirement of at least a 3 year residency, which is where the real learning occurs.
