This $1,494,300 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Health Research Centers program (CFDA 93.155) will support the establishment of a new rural Family Medicine residency program at the Good Samaritan Rural Health Clinic in Wasco, California. The goal is to address healthcare workforce shortages and improve access to quality primary care services for the underserved rural population in Kern and Tulare counties. The program will train 4 family medicine residents per year, with a full cohort of 12 residents expected by 2026, when the program aims to achieve ACGME accreditation. Key project activities include strategic planning, program development, and implementation of the new rural residency over the 3-year award period from August 2024 to July 2027. This initiative seeks to leverage the Good Samaritan healthcare network to provide a robust training environment for residents and prepare them to effectively serve the unique needs of rural communities.
