The University of New England has been awarded a five-year, $2.5 million federal grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration to partner with Penobscot Community Health Care to boost the primary care workforce in rural and underserved Maine communities.
According to a release from the university, 225 UNE students — 160 medical, 25 physician assistant and 70 pharmacy students — will receive interprofessional, team-based training at Penobscot Community Health Care. The training will focus on the development of skills needed for community health outreach, including social determinants of health, oral health knowledge, health literacy and shared decision making with patients.
“As Maine’s largest educator of health professionals, UNE holds national and international reputations for teaching comprehensive, team-based care, also known as interprofessional education,” Dora Anne Mills, UNE’s vice president for Clinical Affairs, director of the Center for Excellence in Health Innovation and the grant’s principal investigator and chief author, said in a statement about the funding. “These funds will equip both today’s and tomorrow’s health care providers with team-based skills as well as other tools needed to engage effectively with patients and populations to improve health.”
