Qualifying medical specialties are:Family medicine.Internal medicine.Preventive medicine.Psychiatry.General surgery.Obstetrics and gynecology.For this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), rural residency programs:Are accredited physician residency programs.Train residents in clinical training sites that are physically located in a rural area as defined by HRSA"s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) for greater than 50 percent of their total time in residency.Focus on preparing physicians to practice in rural communities.
