Community Based Primary Care Residency Training
Teaching Health Centers (THCs) are community-based primary care residency training programs committed to preparing health care professionals to serve the needs of the community, often low-income, marginalized neighborhoods. By moving primary care training into the community, THCs are on the leading edge of innovative educational programming dedicated to ensuring a relevant and sufficient supply of health workforce professionals.

OUR VISION
Founded in 2013, the American Association of Teaching Health Centers (AATHC) is a non-profit organization that serves as the nationwide coordinating hub of Teaching Health Center (THC) programs located across the United States. In addition to educating the medical community and general public about THC programs, the AATHC supports and advances THC interests through networking, political advocacy and communications strategies.
Our primary goal is to extend current THC federal funding and establish a dedicated source for community-based primary care graduate medical education (GME) funding.
