What is the program?
THCGME supports the training of residents in new or expanded primary care residency training programs in community-based ambulatory patient care centers.
Programs will prepare residents to provide high quality care, particularly in rural and underserved communities, and develop competencies to serve these diverse populations and communities.
Two award types are available:
- Continuation awards - for the maintenance of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) filled resident positions at existing HRSA THCGME Programs.
- New awards - to support new resident full-time equivalent (FTE) positions at new Teaching Health Centers (THCs), as funding permits. New THCs are those applicants who have never received payment under the HRSA THCGME Program for the applicable residency program in any previous fiscal year (FY).

An eligible entity is a community-based ambulatory patient care center that operates an accredited primary care residency program.
