The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $3,172,830 Project Grant to Family Health Centers of San Diego, Inc. (FHCSD) on November 1, 2024 under the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Payment Program (CFDA 93.530). The funding will support a new 4-year Adult Psychiatry Residency Program to train psychiatry residents in community-based ambulatory care settings, with a focus on serving underserved and low-income populations in the San Diego area. The program will train up to 24 resident FTEs (6 per year) and be based at FHCSD's El Cerrito Family Counseling Center, which serves a high proportion of uninsured and impoverished patients. The residency program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and is designed to address healthcare workforce shortages and disparities in access to mental health services for disadvantaged communities in San Diego County.
