IAFP Supports Teaching Health Center funding - in print, on the air and on Capitol Hill.
The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program was re-authorized by Congress by September 30, 2019. Sustained extension and more funding will also allow for the expansion of new programs within existing centers and the creation of entirely new teaching health centers while emphasizing the importance of establishing sustainable funding.
More information is available via the American Association of Teaching Heath Centers.
