The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program equips doctors to go where they are most needed. In the14 years since the program’s inception, it has produced more than 2,000 primary care physicians and dentists trained to practice in primary care settings, medically underserved communities, and rural areas. Yet, this investment in advancing medical equity is under threat, as the most recent congressional authorization for THCGME expired on September 30, 2023.
