The Department of Health & Human Services will use $83.4 million in Affordable Care Act funding to train more than 550 residents during the 2014-2015 academic year.
Residents will be trained in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, geriatrics, and general dentistry at 60 teaching health centers across the country. The funding increases the number of residents trained from the previous academic year by more than 200.
The money comes from the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education program, a $230 million, 5-year initiative designed to support increased numbers of primary care residents and dentists trained in community-based ambulatory patient care settings. The program began in 2011.
The new funding also increases the number of states with teaching health centers from 21 to 24, spanning a variety of settings, including urban, rural, and tribal communities nationwide.
