Purpose

The Teaching Health Center Planning and Development Program (THCPD) will provide planning and development grants to establish new accredited or expanded community-based primary care residency programs. The program is designed to support the expansion of the primary care physician and dental workforce in rural and underserved communities.

Program objectives include:

  • Residency Program Development - Develop a new accredited community-based residency program in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, or geriatrics that is ready to begin training its first class of residents no later than the academic year (AY) immediately following the end of the period of performance. In addition, programs should:
    • Provide interprofessional training specific to the needs of their community which may include training with behavioral health professionals and paraprofessionals, nutrition specialists, and pharmacists
    • Aim to decrease healthcare disparities by identifying and immersing trainees in the care of special populations that will be served by the training program such as members of tribal communities, veterans, people living with HIV, patients who are uninsured or underinsured, patients with substance use disorder, or other populations served by HRSA programs
    • Address other known challenges specific to Teaching Health Center residency programs including, but not limited to, having sufficient specialty and subspecialty preceptors and ensuring residents will encounter a high enough volume of patients
  • Program Sustainability - Have a clearly defined, factual, and validated sustainability plan that includes ongoing funding stream(s) to sustain long-term resident training once the program is established through the following options:
    • State or other public and/or private support
    • A combination of multiple federal funding streams
