THCGME
Program Specialties


To expand the Teaching Health Center workforce pipeline, HRSA awarded 93 Planning and Development (P&D) grants in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 to help organizations establish new community-based residency programs. These grants supported accreditation, curriculum development, faculty recruitment, consortium formation, and the infrastructure necessary to launch residency training programs.

The investment reflected a recognized national need to expand community-based graduate medical education. Since then, 34 recipients have successfully transitioned to become THCGME awardees, training the next generation of physicians and dentists in underserved communities.

Many of the remaining recipients have continued to develop and sustain their residency programs through institutional support, state funding, philanthropic investments, or other funding sources. However, opportunities for new THCGME awards have remained limited, leaving many programs without access to the long-term federal funding needed to sustain and grow community-based residency training.

These programs represent a significant national investment in residency development and a ready pipeline for future THCGME expansion. Additional investment in THCGME would help these programs achieve long-term sustainability while expanding access to physician and dental residency training in communities with the greatest workforce needs.
