New UW Primary Care Residency Training Prepares Physicians for Rural Practice
The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded $2.1 million to the University of Wyoming Family Medicine Residency Program at Casper to expand primary care residency training in Wyoming.
The grant supports the creation of a rural training track to better prepare physicians who will practice in rural communities throughout the state.
The grant, known as “Primary Care Training and Enhancement: Residency Training in Primary Care Program,” will extend over five years, with a focus on hands-on, full-scope training for family medicine physicians planning careers in rural medicine.
The rural training track is the first of its kind in Wyoming and will be centered in Thermopolis. Culminating nearly five years of preparation, the new program is a partnership between the UW Family Medicine Residency Program at Casper and Hot Springs County Memorial Hospital.
At left, Dr. Travis Bomengen, site director and chief medical officer with the new rural training track in Thermopolis, stands with Megan Olson, the first resident physician to begin the track’s residency position.
