The Family Medicine (FM) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) Residency Training Program aims to expand the pool of primary care providers who are committed to and well-prepared for serving underserved populations in community settings.
A portion of the Family Medicine (FM) Residency Training Program funding will be used to increase the number of family medicine residency training slots in community health centers in Massachusetts.
Community health centers and ACGME-accredited family medicine residency programs are eligible to apply for funding through this program. Either the ACGME-accredited family medicine residency program or the community health center partner may be the lead applicant. However, all applications must include letters of commitment signed by the executive leadership of both partners, as well as a detailed description of how the two distinct entities will work together to create new community health center-based training opportunities for family medicine residents using program funding.
Applications that intend to create new community health center-based family medicine resident training opportunities, as opposed to those that seek to preserve existing training slots, are strongly preferred.
Further information on the next FM Residency Training cycle coming soon.
A portion of the Family Medicine (FM) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) Residency Training Program funding will be used to increase the number of family nurse practitioner (FNP) residency training slots in community health centers in Massachusetts.
Community health centers participating in MassHealth ACOs are eligible to apply for funding through this program. While CHCs are not required to have an established or accredited FNP residency program, CHCs must demonstrate significant residency training experience and infrastructure. CHCs will be expected to align existing or new programs with established standards for NP residency training programs to meet a baseline of quality and standardization.
Applications that intend to create new community health center-based nurse practitioner residency training opportunities, as opposed to those that seek to preserve existing training slots, are strongly preferred.
Further information on the next FNP Residency Training cycle coming soon.
