Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program
Maintenance funding supports existing HRSA-supported community-based primary care residency programs in ambulatory patient care centers to train residents for practice in rural and medically vulnerable communities.
⚑ Restricted to existing HRSA THCGME program payment recipients only; new applicants are not eligible. · Applicant must be a community-based ambulatory patient care center operating an accredited primary care residency program (individually or through a GME consortium). · Specialty limited to Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine-Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Psychiatry, General Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, or Geriatrics.
This is primarily clinical workforce training and residency-support funding for primary care GME, not the social-behavioral policy, evaluation, or risk-perception research this team typically pursues. The team could only be adjacent at best through education/workforce or public-health policy interests, but no member has a direct THCGME-style program line.
