New Models for Training Doctors and Providing Essential Care
The Education Health Center Initiative provides materials and information for partnerships between Family Medicine Residencies and Community Health Centers, which educate physicians while contributing to the stability of the primary care safety net.
The Education Health Center Toolkit
March 2011
Sponsored by the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation
A decade into the 21st century, Community Health Centers (CHCs) and Family Medicine Residencies (FMRs) face both enormous challenges and opportunities. Both have central roles as health care reform legislation enacted in 2010 begins to be implemented in the real world; CHCs are expected to expand to care for an estimated 20 million new patients and FMRs are challenged to attract and train tens of thousands of new family physicians to care for those patients.
This toolkit is intended to assist health centers and Family Medicine Residency programs to take advantage of new funding streams and successfully affiliate. Take a moment to download it today!
