Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation and Initial Assessment of
HRSA Teaching Health Centers.
OMB No.: 0915–0376—Extension.
Abstract: Section 5508 of the
Affordable Care Act of 2010 amended
section 340H of the Public Health
Service Act to establish the Teaching
Health Center Graduate Medical
Education (THCGME) program to
support new and the expansion of
existing primary care residency training
programs in community-based settings.
The primary goals of this program are to
increase the production of primary care
providers who are well prepared to
practice in community settings,
particularly with underserved
populations, and to improve the overall
number and geographic distribution of
primary care providers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: To ensure these goals are
achieved, the George Washington
University (GW) is conducting an
evaluation of the training,
administrative and organizational
structures, clinical service, challenges,
innovations, costs associated with
training, and outcomes of Teaching
Health Centers (THCs). GW has
developed questionnaires for
implementation with all THC
matriculating residents, graduating
residents, and graduated residents at 1
year post-graduation. The matriculation
questionnaire aims to collect
background information on THC
residents to better understand the
characteristics of individuals who apply
and are accepted to THC programs. The
graduation questionnaire collects
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
information on career plans. The alumni
questionnaire collects information on
career outcomes (including practice in
primary care and in underserved
settings) following graduation as well as
feedback on the quality of training.
Statute requires that THCGME
program award recipients report
annually on the types of primary care
resident approved training programs
that the THCs provided for residents,
the number of approved training
positions for residents, the number of
residents who completed their
residency training at the end of the
academic year and care for vulnerable
populations, and any other information
as deemed appropriate by the Secretary.
The described data collection activities
have served to meet this statutory
requirement for the THCGME program
award recipients in a uniform and
consistent manner and have allowed
comparisons of this group to other
trainees in non-THC programs. GW
seeks renewal of these measures with no
changes.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
medical and dental residents as well as
graduates of Teaching Health Centers.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
