JUMEE BAROOAH PHONE: 570.343.2383 EXT. 1314 EMAIL: BAROOAHJ@THEWRIGHTCENTER.ORG WEB: THE WRIGHTCENTER.ORG FUNDS REQUESTED: $2,999,938 THE MISSION OF THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (TWCGME) IS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE EDUCATION AND PATIENT CARE IN A COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT TO ENHANCE OUTCOMES, ACCESS, AND AFFORDABILITY. THE TWCGME IS AN INDEPENDENT 501(C)(3) NOT-FOR-PROFIT ACGME-ACCREDITED SPONSORING INSTITUTION OF SEVERAL COMMUNITY-BASED PRIMARY CARE PROGRAMS. TOGETHER WITH OUR AFFILIATED FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOOK-ALIKE, THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH), THE WRIGHT CENTER ENTERPRISE SERVES NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA IN URBAN AND HRSA-DESIGNATED RURAL SETTINGS. THE PROJECT WILL EXPAND THE REACH OF INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENTS TO BENEFIT THOSE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) AND INDIVIDUALS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND/OR INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY (PD/IDD) TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR THESE POPULATIONS. THE ABSENCE OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING ON DISABILITY COMPETENCY ISSUES FOR HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS THAT PREVENT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES FROM RECEIVING APPROPRIATE AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT LANGUAGE-DISCORDANT ENCOUNTERS RESULT IN WORSE HEALTH OUTCOMES, REDUCED ACCESS TO HEALTH INFORMATION, AND DECREASED SATISFACTION WITH CARE. CONVERSELY, LANGUAGE-CONCORDANT CARE IMPROVES HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH LEP. THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CURRICULA AND TRAINING OF MEDICAL RESIDENTS, TWCGME WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PRIMARY CARE TRAINEES, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A CULTURALLY COMPETENT DIDACTIC AND CLINICAL CURRICULUM TO EDUCATE PRIMARY CARE TRAINEES AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLINICAL TRAINING IN COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS. TWCGME’S STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED AND CO MMUNITY-BASED RESIDENCY PREPARES ITS GRADUATES TO LEAD PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES IN THE FUTURE AND TO ATTAIN SUBSPECIALTY FELLOWSHIPS IN ANY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION WHERE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOCTOR AND PATIENT CAN BE DEVELOPED TO ENSURE BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES. THIS PRIMARY CARE TRAINING AND ENHANCEMENT (PCTE) PROJECT WILL EMPLOY THE CURRICULAR INNOVATION CAPACITY AND TECHNOLOGY SKILLS OF TWCGME TO ENSURE CONSISTENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF A CHALLENGING AND SATISFYING LOCAL TRAINING EXPERIENCE IN BOTH FOCUS AREAS (LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY AND CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND/OR IDD). THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, AND ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN FIDELITY WITH NATIONAL GOALS OF SERVICE TO THE UNDERSERVED TO YIELD AN INCREASED NUMBER OF PROVIDERS WHO ARE PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY SATISFIED IN THEIR CRITICAL ROLES.

PRIMARY CARE TRAINING AND ENHANCEMENT -- RESIDENCY TRAINING IN STREET MEDICINE - THIS PROJECT, ENTITLED NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA COMMUNITY CONTINUUM OF CARE (NEPA CCC), WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS TRAINED IN INTERNAL MEDICINE TO BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE CARE FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, BY BRINGING CARE TO PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF TRADITIONAL CARE SETTINGS. INDIVIDUALS FACING HOMELESSNESS SUFFER A DISPROPORTIONATE BURDEN OF ILLNESS FROM LIVING IN THE MOST SEVERE CONDITIONS OF POVERTY. TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS IN RURAL AND URBAN AREAS, THE WRIGHT CENTER’S STREET MEDICINE TEAM, IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WILL WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL SERVICES AIMED AT ALLEVIATING HOMELESSNESS. EFFECTIVE MEDICAL AND SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS ARE CRUCIAL FOR BOTH THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE. THE STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM WILL TAKE PRIMARY CARE TO THE STREETS, DELIVER CARE THROUGH A MOBILE HEALTH CLINIC IN RURAL AND URBAN LOCATIONS, PARTNER WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL AGENCIES, AND PROVIDE SERVICES AT THE BUSIEST HOMELESS SHELTERS AND RELATED COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTIES SERVED, PROVIDING TREATMENT FOR ACUTE AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS, MEDICATION DISPENSING, SURVIVAL SUPPLIES, DRUG AND ALCOHOL COUNSELING AND TREATMENT, BASIC TREATMENT OF MENTAL ILLNESS, AND HOSPITAL CONSULTATION WITH CONTINUITY OF CARE POST-DISCHARGE. THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION’S (TWCGME) STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED AND COMMUNITY-BASED RESIDENCY PREPARES ITS GRADUATES TO LEAD PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES IN THE FUTURE. THIS PRIMARY CARE TRAINING AND ENHANCEMENT PROJECT WILL EMPLOY THE CURRICULAR INNOVATION CAPACITY AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH SKILLS OF TWCGME TO ENSURE CONSISTENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF A CHALLENGING AND SATISFYING LOCAL TRAINING EXPERIENCE IN STREET MEDICINE. THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, AND ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN FIDELITY WITH NATIONAL GOALS OF SERVICE TO THE UNDERSERVED TO YIELD AN INCREASED NUMBER OF PROVIDERS WHO ARE PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY SATISFIED IN THEIR CRITICAL ROLES AND WELL-PREPARED TO SERVE PATIENTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. CLINICIANS CARING FOR PATIENTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS MUST UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS AND CHALLENGES RELATED TO THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON THE DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, AND CONTINUING MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS. THE CURRICULUM FOR THIS PROJECT WILL BE DEVELOPED TO PREPARE PHYSICIAN-TRAINEES TO PROVIDE MORE EMPATHETIC, INTERPROFESSIONAL, PATIENT-CENTERED, WHOLE-PERSON PRIMARY CARE FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. OVER THE DURATION OF THE GRANT PERIOD, TWCGME WILL TRAIN 20 RESIDENTS EACH YEAR TO PROVIDE CARE TO THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION. THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (TWCGME) IS AN ANCHOR MEMBER OF A GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) SERVING AS THE INDEPENDENT ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME)-ACCREDITED RESIDENT AND FELLOW PHYSICIANS IN A SAFETY-NET HEALTH SERVICES NETWORK OF ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. TWCGME'S GME-SNC ENGAGES NUMEROUS PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS IN ITS GOVERNANCE AND THE TRAINING OF ITS RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS. THESE PARTNERS INCLUDE TWCGME'S PRIMARY AFFILIATED FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOOK-ALIKE, THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH THAT SERVES NEARLY 35,000 PATIENTS THROUGHOUT NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. THE NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA COMMUNITY CONTINUUM OF CARE (NEPA CCC) PROJECT REQUESTS CONSIDERATION FOR THE RURAL FUNDING PRIORITY AND THE >50% WORKING IN MUC FUNDING PREFERENCE.

THE NFMR WILL, AS OF THIS EXPANDED FUNDING, HAVE 5 FAMILY MEDICINE PRACTICE SITES IN FQHCS ACROSS THE US. POPULATIONS SERVED BY THIS PROGRAM ARE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AND RURAL COMMUNITIES IN DC, OH, AZ, WA AND HI. THE SITES FOR EXPANSION ARE HEALTHPOINT CHC IN AUBURN, WA AND WAIANAE COAST COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER (WCCHC) IN HAWAII. SPECIAL POPULATIONS: HEALTHPOINT SERVES A LARGE PACIFIC ISLANDER POPULATION AND ANTICIPATED MORE THAN 6000 AFGHAN REFUGEES FROM THE CURRENT POLITICAL CRISIS OF THE US WITHDRAWAL, AND WCCHC SERVES A LARGE NATIVE HAWAIIAN POPULATION. NEED - HEALTHPOINT: WASHINGTON’S POPULATION HAS CONSISTENTLY GROWN SINCE THE 1900S AND HAS SURPASSED THE PROJECTED 2020 ESTIMATE OF 7.5 MILLION. THE MEAN AGE OF WASHINGTON’S PRACTICING PHYSICIANS IS 51 YEARS, SLIGHTLY YOUNGER THAN REPORTED IN 2014. STILL, A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF WASHINGTON’S PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE IS NEARING RETIREMENT AGE. COUPLED WITH THE STATE’S AGING POPULATION, THESE CONDITIONS SUGGEST AN INCREASING IMBALANCE BETWEEN SUPPLY AND DEMAND. TWCGME’S NFMR HEALTHPOINT RESIDENCY PROGRAM SITE WAS ABLE TO KEEP 30% OF ITS GRADUATES TO CONTINUE WORKING FOR HEALTHPOINT. NEED - WCCHC: THE STATE OF HA WAII CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ANY THC GME PROGRAMMING. AS AN FQHC IN HAWAII, WCCHC HAS A UNIQUE PATIENT DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE THAT IS AS OF YET UNSERVED BY ANY THC GME PROGRAM. WCCHC WAS FORMED, BY THE COMMUNITY, NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO DUE TO THE NEED FOR INCREASED PRIMARY AND EMERGENT CARE ACCESS AND DELIVERY FOR THE POPULATION OF THE WAIANAE COAST. HAWAII IS FACING A CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO WORSEN. THOUGH A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR YEARS, HAWAII HAS HAD AN ACUTE SHORTAGE THAT IS BEING MADE WORSE DUE TO AN AGING POPULATION OF RETIRING PHYSICIANS, THE COST OF LIVING BEING VERY HIGH AND THE SALARIES BEING LOWER IN HAWAII, AND DUE TO THE IMPACT OF COVID. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE FOR THE NEIGHBOR ISLANDS IN NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTRACT PROVIDERS. A LOCAL PIPELINE OF NEW DOCTORS WHO CAN GO THROUGH THEIR RESIDENCY IN THE ISLANDS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE HAWAIIAN NATIVES (MEANING HOMETOWN SCHOLARS), IS THE MOST IMMEDIATE AND VIABLE SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THE SHORTAGE OF PRIMARY CARE DOCTORS. TOTAL FTE POSITIONS REQUESTED TO BE FUNDED UNDER THIS PROGRAM FOR ALL YEARS OF TRAINING IS 11.5 IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENTLY AWARDED 54.5 TO BRING THE TOTAL TO 66 (22-22-22).
