Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE I, PART I, LINE 2 GRANT MONITORING: THE ORGANIZATION HAS A GRANTS DEPARTMENT THAT MONITORS THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE GRANTS MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE PROCESSES. APPROPRIATE MONITORING IS IN PLACE TO METICULOUSLY TRACK AND REPORT TO GRANTORS AS REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF EACH RESPECTIVE GRANT. OUR GRANTS DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP HAS CREATED A VETTING MATRIX THAT IS USED TO DETERMINE MISSION ALIGNMENT, FEASIBILITY, AND LOGISTICAL TIMING AND CAPACITY FIT, ACHIEVABILITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR ANY POTENTIAL GRANT OPPORTUNITY. STRATEGIC LOGIC MODELS, STAGE-GATE ANALYSIS, PROJECT PLANNING, AND MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT INCLUDES THE MAPPING OF COLLABORATIVE NECESSARY PARTNERS FOR DELIVERING GRANT OUTCOMES INTO LONGVIEW INTEGRATION STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE, STANDARDIZABLE WORK, THEREBY ENSURING FEASIBILITY, READINESS, SUSTAINABILITY, AND ACTUALIZATION OF OUR COMMITMENT TO HIGH-INTEGRITY STEWARDSHIP OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDING. BOTH TWCGME AND ITS PRIMARY AFFILIATE TWCCH ENSURE ALL REQUIRED GRANT-RELATED AUDITING BY AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR IS COMPLETED, INCLUSIVE OF ANY MANDATORY SINGLE AUDITS FOR GRANTS THAT EXCEED FEDERAL THRESHOLDS. DESPITE HAVING VALIDATED HRSA THCGME'S FEDERAL PROGRAMMATIC EXEMPTION FROM SINGLE AUDIT REQUIREMENTS, TWCGME ACTUALLY ALSO VOLUNTARILY INVESTS AND ENGAGES IN A YEARLY SINGLE AUDIT EQUIVALENT FOR ITS HRSA THCGME PROGRAM TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST COMPLIANCE AND STEWARDSHIP AUTHENTICITY. ALTHOUGH DIRECTED BY OUR CURRENT AUDITORS NOT TO SUBMIT THIS VOLUNTARY AUDIT TO THE FEDERAL CLEARING HOUSE, WE BELIEVE THIS SINGLE AUDIT EQUIVALENT PROCESS FOR THE THCGME PROGRAM IS VALUABLE TO OUR NATIONAL GME FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY CONVERSATIONS. THE GRANTS DEPARTMENT DEVELOPED A PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE IN APRIL 2021 TO FOCUS ON SPONSORED PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING, AND COMPLIANCE, AND INTEGRATING STANDARDIZED USE OF SMARTSHEET PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR TRACKING AND DASHBOARD VISUALIZATIONS OF GRANT PROCESSES, CENTRALIZED EXPENSE TRACKING, AND OUTCOMES METRICS. TWCGME AND TWCCH ARE COMPLIANT WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, AND PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL GRANTS. FOR ALL COVID-19 PANDEMIC-RELATED FUNDING, TWCGME AND TWCCH CONTINUE TO EFFECTIVELY AND METICULOUSLY UTILIZE A NATIONALLY ESTABLISHED FUNDING MATRIX CROSS-WALK PLATFORM THAT WAS DEVELOPED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND A WELL-RESPECTED NATIONAL ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THIS PURPOSE.

CDCI COMMISSIONED AN INDEPENDENT STUDY TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A NEW AND INNOVATIVE DENTAL SCHOOL IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA TO BETTER SERVE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE'S RURAL AREAS. SPECIFICALLY, THE GOAL OF THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY AND ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT WAS TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A NEW COST-EFFECTIVE AND INNOVATIVE DENTAL SCHOOL IN NEPA SERVING RURAL, UNDERSERVED, AND MILITARY VETERAN PATIENTS.

IN COLLABORATION WITH AN APPROPRIATE LOCAL UNIVERSITY SPONSOR, THE CDCI AIMS TO CREATE A HUB-AND-SPOKE MODEL OF EDUCATION AND CLINICAL CARE WITH REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON BETTER SERVING THE STATE'S RURAL AREAS AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

NONETHELESS, THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING THE COMPENSATION OF TWCGME TO TWCCH FOR THE SERVICES OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) IS LED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES ENGAGE A THIRD-PARTY EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT PERIODICALLY (GENERALLY EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS) TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE OBJECTIVE COMPENSATION STUDY, ASSESSMENT, AND ANALYSIS EACH TIME THE CEO'S CONTRACT, SALARY, AND COMPENSATION ARE NEGOTIATED. ADDITIONAL DATA CONSIDERED MAY INCLUDE INFORMATION FROM THE AMERICAN JOB CENTER NETWORK WEBSITE, MEDICAL GROUP MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (MGMA), FORM 990S OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS COMPENSATION SURVEYS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, OR OTHER RELEVANT REGIONAL AND NATIONAL SOURCES. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES OF TWCGME AND TWCCH BOARDS ANNUALLY PERFORM A DETAILED, ROBUST, COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S AND BOTH ORGANIZATIONS' PERFORMANCE. THIS ANNUAL PROCESS INCLUDES ASSESSMENT OF WHETHER BASE CHANGES OR MERIT BONUS PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SALARY AND BENEFITS OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO SERVICES ARE APPROPRIATE AND, IF SO, OF FAIR VALUE BASED ON ALL FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S COMPENSATION IN BETWEEN CONTRACT TERMS ARE ASSESSED AGAINST PUBLICLY AVAILABLE COMPARABLE DATA. ULTIMATELY, THE OVERALL COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO IS DETERMINED BASED ON A ROBUST PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF TWCGME AND TWCCH ORGANIZATIONS, WITH DUE CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTRACTED INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY COMPENSATION STUDY, MARKET COMPARABILITY, AND AFFORDABILITY. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES' ANNUAL DELIBERATIONS, CONSIDERATIONS, AND DECISIONS REGARDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ARE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES' MEETING MINUTES WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE EVALUATION COMPLETION AND COMPENSATION DECISION AND THEN REPORTED TO AND RATIFIED BY THE FULL BOARDS OF TWCGME AS WELL AS TWCCH. COMPENSATION OF ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES, AND ALL STAFF IS DETERMINED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S PRESIDENT & CEO AND HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, WHO RELY ON A FORMAL, PERIODIC ORGANIZATION-WIDE COMPENSATION ASSESSMENT BY AN OBJECTIVE THIRD-PARTY VENDOR, TYPICALLY EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: WE DO THIS THROUGH INCLUSIVE AND RESPONSIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND THE SUSTAINABLE RENEWAL OF AN INSPIRED, COMPETENT WORKFORCE THAT IS PRIVILEGED TO SERVE. TWCGME IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT CORPORATION AND ANCHOR MEMBER OF A GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) SERVING AS THE INDEPENDENT ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME)-ACCREDITED SPONSORING INSTITUTION OF GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS THAT TRAIN RESIDENT AND FELLOWS PHYSICIANS IN A SAFETY NET HEALTH SERVICES NETWORK OF ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. TWCGME'S TRAINING PROGRAMS INCLUDE INTERNAL MEDICINE, FAMILY MEDICINE, PSYCHIATRY, PHYSICAL MEDICINE & REHABILITATION RESIDENCIES AND GERIATRICS, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND GASTROENTEROLOGY FELLOWSHIPS. TWCGME'S GME-SNC ENGAGES NUMEROUS PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS IN ITS GOVERNANCE AND THE TRAINING OF ITS RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS. THESE PARTNERS INCLUDE TWCGME'S PRIMARY AFFILIATE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOOK-ALIKE (FQHC LAL), THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH), AS WELL AS FOUR PARTNERING NATIONAL FQHCS, AND ALSO NUMEROUS COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, THE VETERAN AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER, AND A CMS GME-FUNDED INPATIENT REHABILITATION FACILITY (IRF). TWCGME ALSO PROUDLY PARTNERS WITH AND HOSTS NEARLY 200 INTERPROFESSIONAL STUDENTS FROM MORE THAN A DOZEN ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, INCLUDING THE GEISINGER COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (GCSOM) AND A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE IN ARIZONA (SOMA) AND CENTRAL COAST PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAM (CCPAP). PARTNERING COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, GEISINGER, AND ATSU SOMA HAVE AN EMPOWERED VOTING PRESENCE ON TWCGME'S GOVERNING BOARD, AS DOES COMMONWEALTH HEALTH SYSTEMS AND THE NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER (AHEC). COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS RESPONSIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, TWCGME'S GME-SNC PASSIONATELY STRIVES TO ADDRESS AMERICA'S PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES, MIS-DISTRIBUTION, AND RELATED HEALTH, HEALTHCARE, AND HEALTHCARE CAREER ACCESS DISPARITIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION: THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (TWCGME) AND ITS PRIMARY AFFILIATE THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH) SHARE A MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THROUGH INCLUSIVE AND RESPONSIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND THE SUSTAINABLE RENEWAL OF AN INSPIRED, COMPETENT WORKFORCE THAT IS PRIVILEGED TO SERVE. TWCGME'S PASSIONATE PURPOSE IS TO DEMONSTRATE AN "ACHIEVABLE BY ALL" GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) MODEL THAT CO-CREATES TRANSFORMATIONAL HEALTHCARE TEAMS OF LEADERS WHO EMPOWER PEOPLE, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES TO OWN AND OPTIMIZE THEIR HEALTH, HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, AND DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR INTERPROFESSIONAL HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE. WITH INCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT OF TWCGME STAKEHOLDERS, THE GME-SNC ASPIRES TOWARD AN INCLUSIVE COLLECTIVE IMPACT FRAMEWORK TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS AMERICA'S PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE AND MIS-DISTRIBUTION, AND RELATED HEALTH, HEALTHCARE, AND HEALTHCARE CAREER ACCESS DISPARITIES. AS A GME-SNC, TWCGME PARTNERS WITH AN INCLUSIVE NETWORK OF SAFETY NET HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDERS AND INTEGRATES GME FEDERAL RESOURCES DIRECTLY FROM THE U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION'S (HRSA) THCGME PROGRAM AND THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS, AS WELL THROUGH AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH CMS GME-FUNDED PARTNERING HOSPITALS AND AN INPATIENT REHABILITATION FACILITY. TWCGME PROUDLY BECAME A PIONEERING THCGME GRANTEE IN 2011 WHEN HRSA LAUNCHED ITS THCGME PROGRAM RESOURCED THROUGH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. SINCE THEN, THCGME GRANTEES, INCLUDING TWCGME, HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND EXPANDING COMMUNITY-BASED CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS (CHCS) AND PARTNERING HOSPITALS ACROSS OUR NATION TO TRAIN PRIMARY CARE RESIDENT PHYSICIANS TO SERVE HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED SETTINGS. EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATES THAT PHYSICIANS WHO TRAIN AT CHCS ARE MORE LIKELY TO WORK IN A CHC OR OTHER UNDERSERVED SETTINGS, A FINDING VALIDATED BY TWCGME'S HISTORICAL GRADUATE PRACTICE PATTERN OUTCOMES, SHOWING A HIGHER-THAN-NATIONAL-AVERAGE NUMBERS OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS SELECTING CAREERS IN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED SETTINGS, INCLUDING IN FQHCS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES. HRSA'S THCGME PROGRAM HAS BEEN AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN ADDRESSING ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PRIMARY CARE CLIFF: ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES IN UNDERSERVED AREAS DUE TO A NATIONAL PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE AND MIS-DISTRIBUTION. ACCORDING TO DATA PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES (AAMC) IN JUNE 2021, THE UNITED STATES COULD SEE AN ESTIMATED SHORTAGE OF BETWEEN 37,800 AND 124,000 PHYSICIANS BY 2034, INCLUDING BOTH PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE, WITH THE SHORTAGE OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS RANGING BETWEEN 17,800 AND 48,000. PER THE AAMC, MORE THAN TWO OF EVERY FIVE ACTIVE PHYSICIANS IN THE U.S. WILL BE 65 OR OLDER WITHIN THE NEXT DECADE, AND THEIR RETIREMENT DECISIONS "WILL DRAMATICALLY AFFECT THE MAGNITUDE OF NATIONAL WORKFORCE SHORTAGES." THIS LOOMING CRISIS COMPOUNDS THE PHYSICIAN AND PROVIDER BURNOUT CHALLENGES EXACERBATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. TWCGME'S GME-SNC PHYSICIAN TRAINING MODEL IS DESIGNED TO MITIGATE THE HEALTH, HEALTHCARE, AND HEALTHCARE CAREER ACCESS DISPARITIES RESULTING FROM THIS NATIONAL SHORTAGE, WHILE GENERATING UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION AND STRIVING FOR ADVANCEMENT OF THE QUINTUPLE AIM. ADAPTED FROM THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT'S TRIPLE AIM, THE QUINTUPLE AIM IS A FRAMEWORK TO OPTIMIZE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BY IMPROVING HEALTH EQUITY, CLINICIAN WELL-BEING, AND THE PURSUIT OF BETTER HEALTHCARE, IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND LOWER COSTS. TWCGME'S CURRENT SPONSORING INSTITUTIONAL AND PROGRAMMATIC PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES CURRICULA ARE ROOTED IN COMMUNITY-ORIENTED, PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS-RESPONSIVE, WHOLE PERSON PRIMARY CARE TRAINING FOR FAMILY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE, PSYCHIATRY RESIDENTS, AND GERIATRIC MEDICINE FELLOWS, AS WELL AS FUTURE SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023, RESIDENTS WERE STILL DEEPLY IMMERSED IN COMMUNITY-DRIVEN, RESPONSIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE EASING BUT ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC, RELENTLESS OPIOID EPIDEMIC, CONTINUING BATTLES WITH HIV/AIDS AND HEPATITIS C, ESCALATING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES, OBESITY, DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, AND CANCER, AND WIDENING GAPS IN CHILDHOOD AND ADULT VACCINATION RATES FOR PREVENTABLE ILLNESSES. OUR COMMUNITY-BASED TRAINING MODEL WITHIN ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER NETWORKS LEVERAGES CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AND BROAD EXPOSURE OF TRAINEES TO INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM-BASED CARE, AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS, FOR BOTH CARE DELIVERY AND INSTITUTIONAL OUTCOMES REPORTING AND IMPROVEMENTS. TWCGME'S PARTNERING CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS DEMONSTRATE AND ENGAGE ITS LEARNERS IN CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND VALUE-DRIVEN WORKFLOW REDESIGN THAT PROMOTES PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) PHYSICIAN-LED CARE TEAMS, ENGAGED AND EMPOWERED PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, ROBUST REFERRAL NETWORKS OF COMMUNITY RESOURCE AGENCIES, AND BOTH MEANINGFUL USE AND CONNECTIVITY/INTEROPERABILITY OF HEALTH AND EDUCATION INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS. MISSION-DRIVEN, TOP-LICENSE PCMH FACULTY PRACTICE AND ROLE-MODELING WITHIN THESE INCLUSIVE, SAFETY-NET LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS EFFICIENTLY OPTIMIZES WORKFLOW REDISTRIBUTION SO THAT EVERY TEAM MEMBER, INCLUDING FRONT-LINE STAFF AND LEARNERS, ENGAGE IN PURPOSEFUL, MEANINGFUL PRACTICE WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO ITERATIVE CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS OF BOTH CARE DELIVERY AND EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS. TWCGME'S SPONSORING INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT TO ADVANCING PUBLIC HEALTH ALIGNS STRONGLY WITH THE MISSION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND PARTNERING COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITALS, AS WELL AS THE ACGME'S VISIONARY CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT REVIEW PROGRAM FRAMEWORK FOCUSING ON PATIENT SAFETY; HEALTH CARE QUALITY; TEAMING; SUPERVISION; WELL-BEING; AND PROFESSIONALISM. TWCGME'S GME-SNC ENSURES TRAINEES HAVE BROAD EXPOSURE TO SEAMLESS, CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL, INTERPROFESSIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENVIRONMENTS THAT EXERCISE AND NURTURE THEIR LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSITIONAL CARE SKILLS, PREPARING THEM FOR MODERN CLINICAL PRACTICE AND CAREERS OF PUBLIC SERVICE AS PUBLIC HEALTH ENTHUSIASTS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES: TWCGME IS PROUD TO SHARE TESTIMONY OF ITS MISSION DELIVERY IN RECRUITING AND ONBOARDING THREE FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENT GRADUATES WHO BECAME FACULTY ATTENDINGS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 FOR ITS REGIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM TO TEACH RESIDENTS AND INTERPROFESSIONAL LEARNERS. THESE THREE GRADUATES ARE PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES DELIVERY AT TWCGME'S PRIMARY AFFILIATE THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH). SIMILARLY, TWCCH RECRUITED AND ON-BOARDED A TWCGME PSYCHIATRY RESIDENT GRADUATE AS A FACULTY ATTENDING TO PROVIDE PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES AND TRAIN PSYCHIATRY RESIDENTS AT OUR ESTABLISHED TEACHING HEALTH CENTER IN SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA AND ALSO AN INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENT GRADUATE TO LEAD ITS CARE TEAM IN THE NEARBY RURAL COMMUNITY OF HAWLEY, PENNSYLVANIA. ADDING THESE AMAZING GRADUATES TO OUR PROVIDER CARE TEAMS AS CLINICIANS AND TEACHERS OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF FAMILY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE AND PSYCHIATRY PHYSICIANS IS TRULY A TESTAMENT OF TWCGME'S CRUCIAL PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES ADDRESSING THE SHORTAGE AND MISDISTRIBUTION OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. SIMILAR EMPLOYMENT OF OUR GRADUATES BY REGIONAL FQHCS AND ALSO PARTNERING FQHCS IN FOUR STATES PARTICIPATING IN TWCGME'S NATIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM FURTHER VALIDATES OUR REGIONAL AND NATIONAL IMPACT ON PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023, TWCGME'S ACGME-ACCREDITED SPONSORING INSTITUTION HUMBLY CONTINUED ITS PROBATIONARY ACCREDITATION STATUS. IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE OUR SPONSORING INSTITUTION (SI) AND RESTORE ITS HISTORICALLY STRONG ACGME CONTINUING ACCREDITATION, TWCGME IMPLEMENTED MULTIPLE MISSION-DRIVEN IMPROVEMENTS TO ENHANCE SPONSORING INSTITUTIONAL AND PROGRAM AUTHORITY AND OVERSIGHT. THE GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE (GMEC) OF TWCGME'S GOVERNING BOARD HOLDS THE JURISDICTION FOR THAT RESPONSIBILITY. GMEC MEETINGS WERE RESTRUCTURED TO ENHANCE THE VISIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF GMEC AS A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE SI'S GOVERNING BOARD. GMEC RESPONSIBILITIES WERE EMBEDDED IN AN ACGME COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FRAMEWORK, LINKED TO THE SI'S OVERARCHING CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP), STRATEGIC SPECIAL REVIEW PROCESS, AN ANNUAL GMEC WORK PLAN/CALENDAR, AND GMEC/GMEC SUBCOMMITTEE PROACTIVELY PLANNED AND INTENTIONALLY MANAGED MEETING AGENDAS AND COMPREHENSIVE MINUTES, ALL WITH ASSIMILATED ACGME ENDORSED SPECIFIC LANGUAGE. GMEC MEETINGS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND LENGTH TO ENSURE ROBUST GOVERNANCE ENGAGEMENT IN AUTHORITY AND OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITIES. THE CAP WAS CREATED BY A WORKGROUP COMPOSED OF THE DESIGNATED INSTITUTIONAL OFFICIAL, PROGRAM DIRECTORS, INSTITUTIONAL COORDINATOR, CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL SI LEADERSHIP, AND GMEC MEMBERS. THE CAP INCLUDED A SWOT ANALYSIS, IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, COMPREHENSIVE SI AND THEN INCLUSIVE PROGRAMS' POLICY REVIEW AND REVISIONS, REVIEW AND INPUT INTO ACGME INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES TO ALL CITATIONS. THIS INTENSE AND CRITICALLY IMPORTANT WORK CULMINATED IN A PLANNED ACGME SPONSORING INSTITUTIONAL SITE VISIT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023, WHICH NOTABLY AND JOYFULLY RESULTED IN A FULL RESTORATION OF CONTINUING ACCREDITATION STATUS FOR TWCGME'S SPONSORING INSTITUTION IN OCTOBER 2023. AT THE SI LEVEL, SEVERAL POSITIVE CHANGES WERE IMPLEMENTED DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD. TWCGME'S WELLNESS AND RESILIENCY SPECIALIST POSITION WAS ELEVATED TO A DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION EXPERIENCE AND WELLNESS. THE ACADEMIC LEADER WORKS WITH HOUSE STAFF AND PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT TRAINEE EXPERIENCES BOTH IN DIDACTIC AND CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. SHOULD CONCERNS ARISE, THE DMEE WORKS WITH TRAINEES, SITE DIRECTORS, FACULTY, PROGRAM COORDINATORS, PROGRAM DIRECTORS, ASSOCIATE DESIGNATED INSTITUTIONAL OFFICIAL AND DESIGNATED INSTITUTIONAL OFFICIAL TOWARD RESOLUTION. IN ADDITION TO INCORPORATING MEDICAL, PARENTAL, AND CAREGIVER LEAVES OF ABSENCE IN AY 22-23, TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI), TWCGME CHANGED THE SI'S 11 SPECIFIC PAID HOLIDAYS TO 11 FLOATING PAID HOLIDAYS FOR RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS. ADDITIONALLY, TRAINEE SALARIES WERE INCREASED TO HONOR RESIDENT REQUESTS FOR PROGRESSIVE PGY YEAR INCREASES ACROSS TRAINING YEARS 1-4. THE 2022-2023 ACGME RESIDENT/FELLOW SURVEYS WERE REVIEWED BY GMEC IN MAY 2023, WITH IMPROVEMENT IN 3-YEAR TRENDS IN ALL 8 CATEGORIES NOTED. TWCGME ALSO CREATED A NEW ROLE FOR A VICE PRESIDENT OF SI CURRICULUM, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT/QUALITY ASSURANCE (QI/QA) AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT. AN IMPORTANT FOCUS OF THIS ROLE WAS TO SUPPORT RESIDENT/FELLOW/FACULTY EDUCATION AND COMFORT LEVEL IN REPORTING CONCERNS WITHOUT FEAR OF RETALIATION, CONDUCTING ROOT CAUSE ANALYSES AND INSPIRING IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THE 2022-23 ACGME FACULTY SURVEY SHOWED IMPROVEMENT IN PROFESSIONALISM AND RESOURCES. THE SI IMPLEMENTED PROFESSIONAL COACHING OPPORTUNITIES AND ROBUST FACULTY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FACULTY DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE OF GMEC AND THE NEW VP OF SI CURRICULUM, QI/QA AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT. GMEC APPOINTED DR. STEPHANIE GILL AS CHAIR, FACULTY DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE. GMEC ALSO ESTABLISHED A CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT REVIEW (CLER) SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRED BY THE CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER OF A CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT PARTICIPATING (CLEP) SITE TO ENSURE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ACGME CLER REQUIREMENTS AND TO PROMOTE THE VISIONARY ACGME SI 2025. A STANDING SPECIAL REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE GMEC WAS ESTABLISHED TO OVERSEE ALL SPECIAL REVIEW ACTIVITIES THAT THE GMEC CALLS FOR DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED OR ANTICIPATED CHALLENGES QUICKLY. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, ALL CHIEF AND RESIDENT LEADER JOB DESCRIPTIONS WERE UPDATED TO OPTIMIZE THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE RESIDENTS/FELLOWS. IN ADDITION TO PROGRAMMATIC CHIEF AND RESIDENT LEADER POSITIONS, DURING 2022-2023, TWCGME ESTABLISHED CHIEF AND RESIDENT LEADER ROLES IN THE AREAS OF ADVOCACY, SAFETY & QUALITY, AS WELL AS PATIENT & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. EACH OF THESE ROLES ARE POSTED FOR RESIDENTS TO FORMALLY APPLY AND GO THROUGH A FORMAL INTERVIEW AND SELECTION PROCESS WHICH IS SPEARHEADED BY THE RESPECTIVE COMMITTEES OF THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF TWCGME AND TWCCH. THE ADVOCACY CHIEF AND RESIDENTS LEADERS PLAY A LEAD ROLE IN FORTIFYING INTERDEPARTMENTAL COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN RESIDENTS AND THE ADVOCACY TEAM, REPRESENT TWCGME IN ADVOCACY FORUMS TO EDUCATE FEDERAL, STATE AND REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF TWCGME'S MISSION AND THE GME-SNC MODEL. THE ADVOCACY TEAM TAKES ON CRITICAL MISSION ALIGNED ASPECTS OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE POLICIES AND LEGISLATION BRINGING A CLINICAL AND EDUCATIONAL LENS AS NEEDED FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EDUCATION PURPOSES TO ADVOCATE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TO MEET OUR NATION'S NEEDS. ONE CHIEF AND RESIDENT LEADERS ARE ALSO SELECTED TO SERVE ON AND BRING AN EMPOWERED VOICE OF THE LEARNERS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR PATIENT & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (TWCPCE), A SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION OF TWCCH. THESE INDIVIDUALS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS, ACTIVITIES AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES, CHARGED WITH BRINGING THE VOICE OF THE PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY TO INFORM GME STAKEHOLDERS IN THEIR DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES AND CLINICAL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS. TOGETHER WITH THE TWCPCE BOARD, THESE ROLES POSITION OUR LEARNERS TO ENVISION, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES TO IMPROVE THE ENGAGEMENT OF PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AS ACTIVE PARTNERS IN THEIR HEALTH CARE. THE CHIEF AND RESIDENT LEADER FOR PATIENT SAFETY AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE TO SUPPORT QI ACTIVITIES WITHIN TWCGME. THESE ROLES ARE REPRESENTATIVES THAT PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND EDUCATION TO RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS IN THE TERMS OF DIDACTICS, PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATION DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL QI PROJECTS. PROGRAMMATICALLY, DURING FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022, THE REGIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM WAS PLACED ON PROBATIONARY ACCREDITATION STATUS IN THE MIDST OF A RESPONSIVE PROGRAM DIRECTOR TRANSITION AND ACTIVE REMEDIATION STRATEGY TO IMPROVE HISTORICALLY CHALLENGED ACGME RESIDENT SATISFACTION SURVEYS. SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT ON SUBSEQUENT INTERNAL CLIMATE SURVEYS AND THE ACGME SURVEY ITSELF RESULTED. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023, CONFIRMING THE LEGITIMACY OF THE INITIAL POSITIVE INTERNAL FEEDBACK REGARDING THE REMEDIATION STRATEGY, THE REGIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM RESIDENT SATISFACTION SURVEY SCORES JUMPED FROM 36% TO AN IMPRESSIVE 84% ON THE FORMAL ACGME SURVEY, A TRIBUTE TO THE WORK OF THE PROGRAM AND SPONSORING INSTITUTION LEADERSHIP. THANKFULLY, IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2023, THE COLLECTIVE WORK RESULTED IN THE ELEVATION OF THE FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM FROM PROBATIONARY TO CONTINUED ACCREDITATION WITH WARNING WITH NOTABLE RESOLUTION OF EACH AND EVERY PRIOR CITATION.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 CONTINUED NEW PROGRAM SERVICES CONTINUED: AFTER A SERIES OF CHALLENGES IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY INCLUDING PROGRAM LEADERSHIP TRANSITION FOR CAUSE AND THE CLOSURE OF OUR TWO MAJOR INPATIENT PSYCHIATRY UNITS, THE ACGME PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY REVIEW COMMITTEE UNFORTUNATELY WITHDREW ACCREDITATION OF OUR PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM. ACTION RELATED TO THIS DECISION HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF THE REPORTING PERIOD FOR JULY 2022 - JUNE 2023, AND WILL BE DETAILED IN THE NEXT REPORT. MEANWHILE, OUR COMMUNITY IS GRIEVING BUT RALLYING, RESPONSIVE TO UNDENIABLE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND WORKFORCE NEEDS, FOR PREPARATION AND HOPEFUL CONSIDERATION OF A RESUBMISSION FOR ACCREDITATION OF A NEW COMMUNITY-BASED PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM. NOTABLY, TWCGME HAS SINCE 2012 SERVED AS THE ACGME SPONSORING INSTITUTION OF A UNIQUE, PIONEERING NATIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY (NFMR) PROGRAM CONSORTIUM THAT TRAINS 52 FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FOUR NATIONAL FQHCS (UNITY IN WASHINGTON DC; HEALTH POINT IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON; EL RIO IN TUCSON, ARIZONA; AND HEALTHSOURCE IN HILLSBORO, OHIO). THIS NFMR IS NOW POST-CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD EVOLVING INTO FOUR SEPARATE FQHC PLATFORMED FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS IN THE RESPECTIVE LOCAL COMMUNITIES, PROVING SCALABILITY AND REPLICATION OF TWCGME'S GME-SNC MODEL. THIS WELCOMED EVOLUTION AND PROOF OF CONCEPT WAS NOTABLY PROMPTED BY THE TRAUMATIC WITHDRAWAL OF ACCREDITATION BY THE ACGME'S RESIDENCY REVIEW COMMITTEE (RRC) FOR FAMILY MEDICINE (FM), WHICH SPECIFICALLY CITED SUPPORT FOR A GME CONSORTIUM TO BE A SPONSORING INSTITUTION BUT NOT A PROGRAM, DESPITE OUR NFMR CONSISTENTLY ACHIEVING 100% FAMILY MEDICINE BOARD PASS RATES FOR ALL OF ITS GRADUATES AND THEIR UNPRECEDENTED RETENTION IN UNDERSERVED AND COMMUNITIES PRACTICING PRIMARY CARE AND SERVING HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH AND INPATIENT REHABILITATION FACILITY, TWCGME'S PHYSICAL MEDICINE & REHABILITATION (PM&R) RESIDENCY PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED ITS FIRST CLASS OF RESIDENTS ON JULY 1, 2022, WITH FIVE EXCITED PGY1 RESIDENTS. TWCCH EMBRACED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOST AND TRAIN THESE AWESOME PM&R RESIDENTS IN OUR AMBULATORY, AS WELL AS INPATIENT HOSPITAL TEACHING VENUES, TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THE SCOPE AND QUALITY OF HEALTH SERVICES AND SEAMLESS CARE TRANSITIONS FOR THE PATIENTS WE SERVE ACROSS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF SERVICES INCLUDING AMBULATORY, INPATIENT-BASED ACUTE AND REHABILITATION VENUES. THE ADDITION OF THIS NEW RESIDENCY AND INTEGRATION OF THE PM&R RESIDENTS INTO OUR CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS HAS ABSOLUTELY AND UNDENIABLY ENRICHED PATIENT CARE AND THE TEAM BASED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF ALL LEARNERS. DESPITE CMS GME FUNDING CHALLENGES FOR RESIDENCY PROGRAMS OPERATED WITHIN INPATIENT REHABILITATION FACILITIES, TWCGME'S GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) MODEL ENABLED THIS NEW GME PROGRAM TO LAUNCH THROUGH A COLLABORATION WITH A COMMUNITY-BASED CMS IPPS HOSPITAL WILLING TO HOST INPATIENT ACUTE CARE CLINICAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES NECESSARY FOR A PM&R RESIDENCY EXPERIENCE. OUR MORE ROBUST GME-SNC, AS ENVISIONED OVER 10 YEARS AGO, NOW FORMALLY INTEGRATES ALLIED SERVICES AND JOHN HEINZ INSTITUTE, NORTHEAST REHABILITATION ASSOCIATES, AND OTHER ESTABLISHED AND NEW CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT PARTNERS TO PROMOTE THE WELCOMED DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHYSIATRIST WORKFORCE IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023, TWCGME TRAINED NEARLY 250 RESIDENT AND FELLOW PHYSICIANS IN MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES, INCLUDING IN GERIATRIC MEDICINE. THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING QUALIFIED, COMPASSIONATE GERIATRICIANS HAS NEVER BEEN SO URGENT: PENNSYLVANIA STILL RANKS 9TH OUT OF THE 50 STATES FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF THE STATE POPULATION 65 AND OLDER, AND BY 2034, OLDER ADULTS WILL OUTNUMBER CHILDREN (ACCORDING TO CENSUS BUREAU PROJECTIONS). FURTHER, LACKAWANNA AND LUZERNE COUNTIES HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER NUMBER OF PERSONS 65 YEARS AND OLDER COMPARED TO STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES. THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF GERIATRIC COMPETENCIES SUPPORTS THE SHIFT INTO AGE-FRIENDLY HEALTH SERVICES BY HELPING PRIMARY CARE DOCTORS ALIGN WITH WHAT MATTERS TO OLDER ADULTS. DESPITE THE EXPECTED NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF NEARLY 30,000 FULL-TIME GERIATRICIANS BY 2025, THERE ARE NATIONAL RECRUITMENT CHALLENGES IN GERIATRICS: THE POSITION FILL RATE FOR GERIATRIC MEDICINE DECLINED TO 41.5 PERCENT IN 2023, DOWN FROM 43.1 PERCENT IN 2022. THE POSITION FILL RATE HAS RANGED BETWEEN 43.1 - 52 PERCENT SINCE THE 2019 MATCH. IN 2023, GERIATRICS OFFERED 419 CERTIFIED POSITIONS (BOTH INTERNAL MEDICINE AND FAMILY MEDICINE-BASED PROGRAMS) AND ONLY 174 POSITIONS FILLED. UNFORTUNATELY, BUT NOT SURPRISINGLY, TWCGME ALSO EXPERIENCED RECRUITMENT CHALLENGES FOR THE ACGME ACCREDITED GERIATRIC MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP REFLECTIVE OF THE NATIONAL RECRUITMENT ISSUES. HOWEVER, TWCGME ALSO UNFORTUNATELY IDENTIFIED THAT LICENSING BARRIERS WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA BOARD OF MEDICINE MAY ALSO BE INHIBITING RECRUITMENT OPPORTUNITIES. TWCGME CONTINUES TO ADVOCATE WITH BOTH THE STATE LICENSING AND ACCREDITING AGENCIES TO INCREASE THE GERIATRICS FELLOWSHIP APPLICANT POOL BY REMOVING THESE BARRIERS GIVEN THE CRUCIAL NEED FOR GERIATRIC SERVICE PROVIDERS IN OUR COUNTRY. NOTABLY, TWCCH, THE 8TH HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY TO ADOPT UCLA'S JOHN A. HARTFORD FOUNDATION FUNDED, AWARD-WINNING ALZHEIMER'S AND DEMENTIA CARE (ADC) PROGRAM MODEL, CONTINUED TO OFFER ADC SERVICES FOR THE REGIONAL COMMUNITY, WHILE ALSO IMPLEMENTING THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT'S "AGE FRIENDLY HEALTH SYSTEM" IN ALL OF ITS PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES SITES FOR SENIORS. THESE INITIATIVES ENRICH THE GERIATRIC-SENSITIVE PREPARATION OF ALL INCUMBENT AND FUTURE WORKFORCE TRAINING AT TWCGME. AS A RECIPIENT OF A HRSA FIVE-YEAR DENTAL RESIDENCY AND CARE DELIVERY PLANNING GRANT, TWCGME CONTINUED TO FORMALLY SUPPORT TWCCH AS A CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND COLLABORATING PARTNER IN NYU LANGONE'S ADVANCED EDUCATION IN GENERAL DENTISTRY (AEGD) RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023. THE AEGD PROGRAM IS FULLY ACCREDITED BY THE COMMISSION ON DENTAL ACCREDITATION (CODA) OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION (ADA) TO ADVANCE A RESIDENT'S SKILLS IN PUBLIC HEALTH-ORIENTED GENERAL DENTISTRY. DENTAL RESIDENTS ARE GUIDED AND MENTORED ON-SITE BY FACULTY MEMBERS WHILE DELIVERING ORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND PERFORMING PROCEDURES ON ETHNICALLY-DIVERSE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, INCLUDING THE POPULATION SERVED BY TWCCH'S OPIATE AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER CENTER OF EXCELLENCE AND RYAN WHITE SERVICE LINES. IT IS NYU LANGONE'S GOAL THAT, UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM, RESIDENTS GRADUATE AS HIGHLY SKILLED AND CONFIDENT PUBLIC HEALTH DENTAL PRACTITIONERS, EQUIPPED TO SERVE THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS AND MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THE COMPLEX WORLD OF MODERN DENTISTRY. WITH TWCCH'S DENTAL FACULTY AND RESIDENTS, TWCCH PROVIDED 13,099 DENTAL VISITS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, 2,221 MORE THAN THE YEAR BEFORE - A 20% INCREASE - RESULTING IN PART FROM THE ENHANCED FACULTY PRODUCTIVITY WHILE TRAINING THE RESIDENTS AND ALSO FROM RECRUITMENT OF AN ADDITIONAL FACULTY DENTIST IN SEPTEMBER 2022 AND THE EXPANSION OF DENTAL SPACE AND TWO NEW OPERATORIES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO ACCOMMODATE MORE PATIENTS. EXCITINGLY, IN EARLY 2024, TWCCH EXECUTED AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT TO HIRE ONE OF THE AEGD DENTAL RESIDENTS UPON GRADUATION FROM THIS PROGRAM, DEMONSTRATING THAT THE POWER OF THE COMMUNITY-BASED HOMEGROWN PIPELINE TRAINING MODEL IS JUST AS SUCCESSFUL WITH DENTAL RESIDENTS AS IT IS WITH MEDICAL RESIDENTS. TWCGME CONTINUED TO FORMALLY SUPPORT TWCCH'S CLINICAL TRAINING PARTNERSHIP WITH A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE (SOMA), WHICH HOSTED 29 OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL STUDENTS FOR DIDACTICS AND CLINICAL TRAINING IN SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA. OF THOSE, THREE WERE HOMETOWN SCHOLARS NOTABLY RECRUITED FROM THE POPULATION SERVED BY TWCCH, ONE OF WHOM PROUDLY GRADUATED IN MAY 2023 TO PURSUE LOCAL RESIDENCY TRAINING IN THE MUCH NEEDED SPECIALITY OF GENERAL SURGERY. WITH ADDITIONAL HOMETOWN SCHOLARS IN THE PIPELINE AND ON OUR RECRUITMENT RADAR, WE CONTINUE TO AGGRESSIVELY PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR LONGITUDINAL "GROW YOUR OWN" REGIONAL PHYSICIAN AND INTERPROFESSIONAL WORKFORCE PIPELINE. THE HOMETOWN SCHOLARS PROGRAM IS DIRECTLY ALIGNED WITH AND FUELS THE DELIVERY OF THE SHARED MISSION OF TWCGME AND TWCCH, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE QUALIFIED, COMPASSIONATE LOCAL STARS TO ENTER THE MEDICAL FIELD AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONS, PASSIONATELY PURSUING THEIR RECRUITMENT TO OUR GME PROGRAMS AND THEIR RETENTION IN PRACTICE TO RESTORE OUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 CONTINUED NEW PROGRAM SERVICES CONTINUED: TWCGME ALSO CONTINUED ITS FORMAL SUPPORT OF TWCCH ENTERING ITS SECOND YEAR OF ITS SIMILARLY DESIGNED HOMETOWN SCHOLAR PARTNERSHIP WITH A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES, NACHC, AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS OF THE CENTRAL COAST CALIFORNIA AS A SECOND-YEAR TRAINING SITE FOR THE NEW PUBLIC HEALTH ORIENTED CENTRAL COAST PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAM (CCPAP). ADDITIONALLY, WE CONTINUED OUR EFFORTS TO DEVELOP AND TRAIN OUR OWN MEDICAL ASSISTANTS (MAS) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANT ADVANCEMENT (NIMAA), AND ALSO COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWS) THROUGH THE AHEC-AFFILIATED COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER TRAINING PROGRAM AND THE NATIONAL HEALTH CORPS. TWCGME IS ALSO THE PRIMARY GRANTEE OF A HRSA RURAL RESIDENCY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT GRANT (RRPD) WITH A RURAL HOSPITAL AND AFFILIATED FQHC PARTNER IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, AS WELL AS PLANNING GRANTS FOR ESTABLISHING A PEDIATRIC RESIDENCY, A PEDIATRIC DENTAL RESIDENCY, AND AN OB/GYN RESIDENCY. AS A MULTIPLE THCGME PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT GRANTEE, WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN HRSA-LEAD TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WEBINARS, ACKNOWLEDGED BY PARTICIPANTS AS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT REGARDING HRSA'S TEACHING HEALTH CENTER PROGRAMS, PARTICULARLY IN THE GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY NET CONSORTIUM MODEL. IN RESPONSE TO THE ESCALATING DAILY CHALLENGES OF THE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS THAT WERE EXACERBATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, TWCGME CONTINUED ITS PASSIONATE, DEEP INVESTMENT IN THE TRANSFORMATIONAL WORK TO PROGRESS ON OUR THREE-YEAR JOURNEY FROM A HISTORICALLY TRAUMA-ORGANIZED FOUNDATION THROUGH SANCTUARY MODEL CERTIFICATION TO BECOME A TRAUMA-COMPETENT EMPLOYER, PROVIDER OF WHOLE PERSON HEALTH SERVICES, AND HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE. FOUNDED BY DR. BLOOM AND CONTINUED BY THE WORK OF THE SANCTUARY INSTITUTE, THE SANCTUARY MODEL IS A BLUEPRINT FOR CLINICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATIONAL CULTURE SHIFT WHICH, AT ITS CORE, PROMOTES PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY AND RECOVERY FROM TRAUMATIC ADVERSITY THROUGH THE ACTIVE CREATION OF A TRAUMA-INFORMED AND COMPETENT COMMUNITY. A TRAUMA-COMPETENT ORGANIZATION IS ONE THAT RECOGNIZES THE INHERENT VULNERABILITY OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS TO THE EFFECTS OF TRAUMA AND ORGANIZES SYSTEM-WIDE INTERVENTIONS AIMED AT MITIGATING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF ADVERSITY AND STRESS THAT ARE MANIFESTED IN THOSE EMPLOYED IN AND SERVED BY THE ORGANIZATION AND THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF. SANDRA BLOOM'S THEORY INSPIRED SANCTUARY CERTIFICATION PROCESS EMPLOYS FOUR PILLARS OF SHARED KNOWLEDGE OF TRAUMA THEORY; SHARED VALUES OF NONVIOLENCE, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, SOCIAL LEARNING, DEMOCRACY, OPEN COMMUNICATION, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, GROWTH AND CHANGE; SHARED LANGUAGE TO GUIDE REACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS IN TERMS OF SAFETY, EMOTIONS, LOSS AND FUTURE; AND SHARED PRACTICE USING SANCTUARY TOOLS AND INTERVENTIONS TO REINFORCE THE MODEL'S PHILOSOPHY. THE "SANCTUARY" APPROACH CAN BE OFFERED AS A GUIDING CONSTRUCTIVE FRAMEWORK FOR TRANSFORMATION FROM TRAUMA ORGANIZED, OFTEN DIVISIVE CARE DELIVERY AND EDUCATIONAL PLATFORMS TO TRAUMA COMPETENT SYSTEMATIZED APPROACHES FOR TEAMING THAT PROMOTE PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY, TRUST, PARTICIPATORY CITIZENSHIP, DEMOCRATIZATION, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SOCIAL LEARNING. TWCGME BEGAN ITS DEEP INVESTMENT AND ROLL-OUT OF SANCTUARY TRAINING IN EARNEST IN AUGUST 2022 WITH A 2-DAY ONSITE VISIT BY A SANCTUARY INSTITUTE SENIOR FACULTY STAFF MEMBER. WE IMPLEMENTED MULTIPLE COHORTS OF 5-DAY IMMERSION TRAINING EVENTS TO SPREAD LEARNING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION. THESE COHORTS INCLUDED TWCCH GOVERNING BOARD AND EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS NEARLY 80 EMPLOYEES AND A DOZEN TWCGME RESIDENT PHYSICIANS IN TRAINING. AN INTERNAL SANCTUARY STEERING COMMITTEE AND CORE TEAM HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND ARE WORKING INTENTLY AND TIRELESSLY TO ENSURE CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL UNDERSTANDING AND WIDE-SPREAD ADOPTION OF THE SANCTUARY PHILOSOPHY, PILLARS, COMMITMENTS, AND IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS. A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE MODEL TO ENSURE EMPOWERING IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE OF INTERNAL SANCTUARY TRAINERS LAUNCHED DURING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. TWCGME IS FULLY COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE WAY WE WORK TO PROMOTE AND SYSTEMATIZE AN AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING (JEDIB). DURING THE FISCAL YEAR REPORTED, TWCCH AND TWCGME WERE AGAIN SELECTED IN A COMPETITIVE PROCESS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANOTHER ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION DESIGN SPRINT COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE WRIGHT CENTERS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH AND GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND OUR NORTHEAST PA AHEC. THIS PROJECT AIMED TO DEVELOP A JUSTICE, DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING CURRICULUM FOR PHYSICIAN AND INTERPROFESSIONAL HEALTH WORKFORCE LEARNERS TO PROMOTE TEAM BUILDING AND AWARENESS ACROSS THE CARE DELIVERY TEAM LEARNING CONTINUUM. THE GOAL IS TO ELIMINATE THE IMPACT OF DISPARITIES IN HEALTH SERVICES AND TREATMENT DECISIONS, AS WELL AS IN CAREER ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, RESULTING FROM EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT BIASES. THE CURRICULUM'S FOCUS IS TO TEACH CULTURAL HUMILITY AND AUTHENTIC TEAMWORK ACROSS HEALTH PROFESSIONS, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVING A SHARED, TEAM-BASED UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSES, HEALTH CARE SERVICES PLAN, AND TREATMENT APPROACHES FOR THE BENEFIT OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND OUR COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE CONTINUED LEADERSHIP OF OUR VP OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION (DEI), WE EXPANDED JEDIB PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE WRIGHT CENTER ENTERPRISE, AND INTRODUCED INTEGRATIVE COMMUNITY THERAPY (ICT) AS A NEW INITIATIVE IN OUR WORK TO PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH, RESILIENCY, COPING SKILLS AND DEMONSTRATED VALUE OF THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITIES. SYSTEMATIZED ICT IS FUELED BY THE COMMUNITY AND ENGAGED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, NOTABLY NOT RELYING ON REFERRALS, DOCTORS, INSURANCE, OR WAIT LISTS TO OFFER IMMEDIATE, NO-COST ACCESS TO ANY COMMUNITY MEMBER NEEDING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. ICT USES FACILITATED AND GUIDED CONVERSATION BETWEEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH SHARED CHARACTERISTICS AS AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION OR RESPONSE TO LACK OF IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN COMMUNITIES. EACH PARTICIPANT IN AN ICT SESSION LEARNS, CONTRIBUTES, AND HEALS BY SHARING THEIR AND LISTENING TO THE LIFE STORIES THAT ARE TOLD BY OTHERS. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, TWCGME ALSO LAUNCHED ITS FORMAL CORPORATE COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT INTO AN ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) STRATEGIC PLAN. WE RECRUITED OUR VERY FIRST ESG SPECIALIST, AND DEVELOPED AN ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE PLEDGE FOR REVIEW AND ADOPTION BY OUR ENTIRE STAFF, INCLUDING OUR PHYSICIANS AND PROVIDER TEAMS AND TWCGME'S RESIDENT AND FELLOW PHYSICIANS IN TRAINING, TO PROMOTE AWARENESS THAT, AS AN ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER OF PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES, WE SIMPLY CANNOT IGNORE THE DEVASTATING DISPARATE IMPACT THAT THE ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE HAS ON HEALTH, A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT THAT IS ONLY FORCE-MULTIPLIED BY THE POLITICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. WE THEREFORE COMMITTED TO ENRICH AND EXPAND OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO INCLUDE A ROBUST EXPLORATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF REASONABLE "ACHIEVABLE BY ALL" PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE AWARENESS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICES CONTINUED: TWCGME'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH INCLUSIVE AND RESPONSIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND THE SUSTAINABLE RENEWAL OF AN INSPIRED AND COMPETENT WORKFORCE THAT IS PRIVILEGED TO SERVE. TWCGME, AN INDEPENDENT NON-PROFIT SPONSORING INSTITUTION ACCREDITED BY THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME), TRAINS NEARLY 250 MEDICAL RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS EACH YEAR THROUGH ITS UNIQUE GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC), WHICH IS FUNDED BY THREE FEDERAL AGENCIES (HRSA, AFFILIATED HOSPITAL AND INPATIENT REHABILITATION FACILITY PARTNERS WHO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FROM CMS, AND THE VA). OUR OPERATIONS ARE SUPPORTED BY AN ENRICHED COMMUNITY RESOURCE NETWORK OF MULTIPLE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FOR RESIDENTS/FELLOWS, WHO HAVE ALREADY GRADUATED MEDICAL SCHOOL AND JOIN TWCGME TO COMPLETE POSTGRADUATE CLINICAL AND EDUCATIONAL TRAINING THAT MAKES THEM ELIGIBLE TO SIT FOR BOARD EXAMINATIONS WITH THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MEDICAL SPECIALITIES AND/OR THE AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION.
