Primary care training and enhancement -- residency training in street medicine - access to healthcare remains a significant barrier for individuals experiencing homelessness, leading to poor health outcomes and increased utilization of emergency services. To address this GAP, our family medicine residency program proposes the implementation of a street medicine curriculum, designed to train residents in providing high-quality, compassionate, and evidence-based care to unsheltered populations. This curriculum will integrate didactic learning, hands-on clinical experiences, and interprofessional collaboration with local community organizations. Residents will develop skills in trauma-informed care, mobile health delivery, harm reduction, and resource navigation, ensuring a comprehensive approach to addressing both acute and chronic medical conditions in this vulnerable population. By fostering cultural humility and strengthening partnerships with social service agencies, our program will empower future physicians to serve marginalized communities effectively. Through hrsa funding, we aim to develop resident training opportunities, enhance community outreach, and improve continuity of care for individuals experiencing homelessness. This initiative aligns with hrsa's mission to advance health equity and will serve as a replicable model for other training programs seeking to integrate street medicine into primary care education.
