Song Brown Primary Care Residency (PCR) 2026 Application

The Song-Brown Program funds institutions that train primary care doctors to provide health care in California’s medically underserved areas. This grant opportunity will result in funding organizations to educate and train primary care residents to work in underserved communities. The program aims to provide training sites in medically underserved multi-cultural communities, lower socioeconomic neighborhoods, or rural communities, and prepare primary care physicians for service in such neighborhoods and communities. Some key points of this opportunity include: • Providing training sites in medically underserved areas • Establishing procedures to identify, recruit, and match primary care residents who possess characteristics which would suggest a predisposition to practice in areas of unmet need • Implementing counseling and placement programs to encourage training program graduates to enter practice in areas of unmet need • Providing preceptorship experiences in an area of unmet need to enhance the potential of training program graduates to practice in such an area
