Overview

US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently announced a new graduate medical education program to expand health care access to Veterans in rural, tribal, and underserved areas. NACHC’s national office hour will provide health centers and primary care associations with information about the pilot in which one hundred physician residents will rotate to non-VA health care facilities, like FQHCs, as authorized under Mission Act Section 403 and administered by the VA’s Office of Academic Affiliations. Is this an opportunity for your health center?

Learning Objectives

• Articulate the importance of health centers having teaching as a component of their mission.
• Understand the opportunities available through the MISSION 403 GME Pilot.
• Determine whether the opportunities available through the MISSION 430 GME Pilot fit with their health center’s workforce plan.

Faculty

• Donald L. Weaver, M.D. NACHC Advisor on Workforce and Service Integration
