Teaching Health Center Planning and Development Program
The purpose of this grant program is to support the development of new accredited primary care residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and geriatrics to address the
physician workforce shortages and challenges faced by rural and underserved communities.
Teaching Health Center primary care residency programs are accredited medical and dental residency training programs that train residents in community-based training sites and focus on producing physicians and dentists who will practice in underserved communities.
For example, one residency training model is the 1+2 Rural Training Track (RTT), where the first year of training occurs within a larger community-based facility such as a federally qualified health center (FQHC), and the final two years in a rural health community-based setting.
This program aims to support the expansion of primary care residency training in community-based patient care settings by providing funds to support the development of new programs in these settings, which are often located in underserved areas where resources may not easily attainable.
As such, THCPD funding may be utilized to support the development of new residency programs only; applications from existing residency programs (i.e.
those already training residents) will not be considered.
Programs wishing to expand primary care training in their residency program should submit an application for resident full-time equivalent (FTE) support through the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program, announcement HRSA-22-10 5.
