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.

Yes, but it’s not less training. It’s just a scholarship to ensure that you go into primary care in a rural setting. It’s a good idea, but it’s not less training like you would see in NP school.
