Abstract
[This is an excerpt.] The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program helps communities grow their health workforce by training physicians and dentists in community-based settings with a focus on rural and underserved communities. This unique training model changes the physician training paradigm by providing the majority of training in community-based outpatient settings where most people receive their health care. The program aims to:
- Increase physicians and dentists trained in community-based settings
- Improve health outcomes for members of underserved communities
- Expand health care access in underserved and rural areas
