Grant Description

Grants to USA nonprofit hospitals, healthcare centers, community organizations, and graduate medical education consortia to establish medical training programs in rural regions. Required registrations may take several weeks to complete. The purpose of this grant program is to support the development of new rural residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine, public health and general preventive medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology, to address the physician workforce shortages and challenges faced by rural communities.

Rural residency programs are accredited medical residency training programs that primarily train residents in rural training sites for greater than 50 percent of their total time in residency, and focus on producing physicians who will practice in rural communities.

Program Goals

The goal for the RRPD program is for each recipient to establish a new rural residency program that is accredited by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and has a strong sustainability plan for a stable future financial outlook by the end of the period of performance. All RRPD program recipients should be capable of effectively training physicians to practice in and meet the clinical needs of rural populations. As a result, the proportion of graduates from these programs entering careers in practices primarily serving rural populations is expected to markedly exceed that seen in other programs across the nation.

Program Objectives

Objective 1: Residency Program Development
Objective 2: Program Sustainability
Objective 3: Graduate Tracking Plan
