Toward a Better Understanding of Primary Care Physician Career Typologies
BACKGROUND: The nation faces a persistent shortage and maldistribution of primary care physicians (PCPs). A better understanding of PCP career typologies could help policy makers target interventions toward certain subgroups, rather than using a "one-size fits all" approach to improving PCP supply, distribution and diversity across settings and in rural areas. METHODS: This study used cross-sectional data from 2009 and 2019, derived from the Nort…
Lessons Learned From State-Based Efforts to Leverage Medicaid Funds for Graduate Medical Education
Bolstering the rural physician workforce in underserved communities: Are Rural Residency Planning and Development Programs finding the sweet spot
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics of Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) Programs, compare the characteristics of counties with and without RRPD programs, and identify rural places where future RRPD programs could be developed.

New Opportunities for Expanding Rural Graduate Medical Education to Improve Rural Health Outcomes: Implications of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021
Evidence shows that those living in rural communities experience consistently worse health outcomes than their urban and suburban counterparts. One proven strategy to address this disparity is to increase the physician supply in rural areas through graduate medical education (GME) training. However, rural hospitals have faced challenges developing training programs in these underserved areas, largely due to inadequate federal funding for rural GM…
Improving the Health of Rural Communities Through Academic–Community Partnerships and Interprofessional Health Care and Training Models
Health disparities between rural and urban areas are widening at a time when urban health care systems are increasingly buying rural hospitals to gain market share. New payment models, shifting from fee-for-service to value-based care, are gaining traction, creating incentives for health care systems to manage the social risk factors that increase health care utilization and costs. Health system consolidation and value-based care are increasingly…
Will Community Health Centers Survive Covid‐19
Federally qualified community health centers (CHCs) are the nation's primary care safety net, serving a patient population of whom 68% have incomes below the poverty level, 63% identify as racial/ethnic minorities, and 82% are uninsured or publicly insured.1 Today, nearly 1,400 CHCs operate some 13,000 healthcare delivery sites nationwide,2 providing high-quality, cost-effective, and comprehensive primary care (often including dental and behavior…
Training Psychologists for Rural Practice: Exploring Opportunities and Constraints
PURPOSE: To examine trends in the psychologist workforce and training opportunities, including factors that may influence the decision of clinical psychologists to practice in rural settings. METHODS: We use a mixed-methods approach to examine the psychologist workforce nationally and in North Carolina (NC), including (1) an analysis of the location of programs awarding doctoral degrees; (2) an analysis of the practice, demographic, and education…
How Might the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 Affect the Financial Viability of Rural Pharmacies? An Analysis of Preimplementation Prescription Volume and Paymen…

Policy attention has focused to a much lesser degree on the implications of the MMA for the financial viability of rural pharmacies. Purpose : This article presents descriptive information on mail‐order prescriptions, volume, and payer t…
