CHC’s Drivers for Starting an NP Residency Program in 2007:

• Solve a problem

• Develop a model that is replicable and sustainable

• Advance the field of postgraduate NP training

Solve a Problem:

• Address the shortage of primary care providers, particularly for

vulnerable populations

• Give new NPs the opportunity for postgraduate residency training leading to confidence and mastery in the FQHC setting

• Reduce attrition due to burnout and distress during the initial postgraduate year

• Give new NPs the confidence to practice in any FQHC – rural or urban, large or small

• Provide the depth, breadth, volume, and intensity of clinical training to a model of care consistent with PCMH, IOM/FON, and FQHC principles and services

• Prepare the next generation of leadership for FQHCs

The Road to Developing an NP Residency Program• Answer the question: What are your drivers for starting a

postgraduate program?

• Secure board, leadership, and clinical buy-in

• Develop financial and strategic plan including potential partners

Cost and Benefits

• Costs include (direct) and (indirect)

• Benefits- Return-on-Investment (tangible and intangible)

• Organizations are choosing to make an investment in these programs because of the potential ROI and the business imperative of an expert primary care workforce

FNP Residency since 2011• New FNPs used to stay for a

year then leave for a more supportive environment.

• Leadership is VERY happy with the Residency.

• Improved patient access.• Graduated 18. Hired 6.• Preceptor satisfaction has

helped with retention of senior providers.

CHC’s Postdoctoral Clinical Psychology Residency

Program

• If we want a team-based model of fully integrated primary care and behavioral health, we have to train the members of the team to that model.

• Licensed clinical psychologists are an invaluable member of the healthcare team and they must acquire supervised postgraduate hours for licensure in most states.

• Today, only a handful of 152 postdoctoral residency programs are based in FQHCs.
