The University of Rochester (N.Y.) Medical Center received a three-year, $750,000 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration to support the training of family medicine residents in rural settings.
The program aims to increase access to family medicine and obstetrics services for historically marginalized and low-income rural residents in Allegany, Livingston, Steuben and Wyoming counties, according to an Aug. 16 news release from the health system.
URMC will partner with Tri-County Family Medicine, Highland Family Medicine/Department of Family Medicine Residency Program and Noyes Memorial Hospital to establish a rural track program with a maternal health and obstetrics pathway using the grant.
