What the grant funds

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Primary Care Training and Enhancement-Language and Disability Access (PCTE-LDA) program. The purpose of the PCTE-LDA program is to develop curricula and to train medical students, physician assistant students, and primary care medical residents to provide high quality primary care services to individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) and/or individuals with physical disabilities and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) with goals of improving health outcomes for these populations. The program has two focus areas: Focus Area: Language Assistance for Individuals with LEP Supports individuals with LEP by training primary care medical students, physician assistant students, or medical residents to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health information and services. Trainees may participate in medical language immersion programs, and training should incorporate language resources available to residents in the program, including language immersion courses, language applications/software, language tools, and community resources. Residents and Physician Assistant (PA) students would be required to participate in a minimum two-month clinical rotation that provides health care services for individuals with LEP. Medical students would be required to participate in a minimum two-week clinical rotation. Focus Area: Care for Individuals with Physical Disabilities and/or IDD Supports primary care residents in developing culturally competent skills in providing care to individuals with physical and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities.
