Description
The Family Medicine–Obstetrics Postgraduate Training Grant Program is a competitive program administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). It supports the development, expansion, and administration of postgraduate family medicine-obstetrics training, including salaries and benefits for participating training physicians. The program seeks to strengthen Texas’s maternal healthcare workforce and improve women’s access to obstetrical care.
Supported models include enhanced obstetrics tracks within family medicine residencies, structured post-residency training affiliated with a residency, and coordinated models combining both approaches. Training must go beyond the standard maternity-care curriculum and prepare physicians to provide obstetrical care within family medicine practice. Activities can include clinical rotations, rural training experiences, curriculum development, simulation, faculty development, and program evaluation.
