Summary
The Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) program improves and expands access to health care in rural areas by developing new sustainable rural residency programs, including rural track programs (RTPs). Under the program, we provide start-up funding to grant recipients to create accredited rural residency programs in a qualifying medical specialty.
These residency programs are then sustained long-term through viable and stable funding mechanisms, such as Medicare and in states where there is a viable path of support, through Medicaid or other consistent state funding.
Ultimately, this funding opportunity addresses physician workforce shortages and challenges faced by rural communities.
