Resident Community Health Impact Grants (RIG)
These annual grants provide funding to family medicine residency programs for resident-led community health projects across the state.
Since the 2022-2023 fiscal year, PAFP has secured increased state investment in the PAFP Foundation’s Resident Impact Grant (RIG) Program, which PAFP administers through a grant funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health Primary Care Office.
Investments in Family Medicine Graduate Medical Education (GME) yield dividends in health care provided by the additional residents and in post-graduate practice in the Pennsylvania communities where they’re most needed. The increased program funding for 2022-23 expanded much-needed support to the four residency programs hosting the nine expanded residency slots and a then-new Resident Community Health Impact Grant (RIG) program.
Residents are learners in training and practice. They are uniquely positioned to be change-makers in their communities. Residency training supports opportunities for community health outreach and scholarly activity designed to address health needs of communities and special populations. Family Medicine training is broad – covering all ages, all disease states, chronic and urgent health needs, and integrating health with mental wellbeing via a whole-person, family-centered perspective. Residents are eager to apply practical, creative solutions to make a difference in their patients’ health and are trained to collaborate within multi-disciplinary teams.
