Description
- Abstract
- Name of program: mahec internal medicine rural and tribal health track residency program discipline of the residency program: internal medicine type of application: new eligible entity type: mahec is a federally qualified health center (fqhc) look-alike that operates the residency program alone, in collaborative consultation with the cherokee indian hospital authority and mission hospital. Year program first began training residents: 2021 organization website address: WWW.mahec.net overview: building on the successful model of our traditional internal medicine residency, mountain area health education center (mahec) has recently introduced the internal medicine (IM) rural and tribal health (RTH) track to further tailor our training to the distinctive needs of specific populations in western north carolina. Mahec is the sponsoring training institution for the program, and cherokee indian hospital authority (ciha) - primary medical home for over 11,000 members of the eastern band of the cherokee indians (ebci) - is the rural training partner and primary training site. Jackson, swain, macon, graham, cherokee and clay counties, representing an isolated pocket in appalachia with very limited access to essential primary care services, are the counties that the activities of this residency program will impact. Each of these NC counties are designated health professional shortage areas (hpsas). Of note, ebci tribal lands encompass parts of five WNC counties, including those impacted: cherokee, graham, jackson, haywood, and swain. The catchment area for this project is rural, poor, and lacks both social services and primary care access. Of the eight counties in the impact area for the proposed program, six are designated as rural, and one as partially rural. The program provides residents with unique and comprehensive training experiences deeply rooted in serving high-need communities, particularly the ebci. The curriculum includes a CO ntinuous, immersive cultural experience with RTH track residents working with ciha, practicing as primary care providers in the outpatient clinic, and assisting with inpatient rounding. These experiences are further enriched by learning from local providers who are not only trained in serving this population but are also often members of the ebci community themselves. Total resident FTE positions requested to be funded under this program for all postgraduate years of training: 5 (5-5-5) resident FTE positions requested to be funded under this program for the first AY of funding: 1 (1-0-0) rotation sites: residents will perform rotations at two hospital rotation sites, cherokee indian hospital authority hospital and mission hospital, which have both previously provided resident training.
