Graduate Medical Expansion Grant
The New Mexico Health Care Authority (HCA) will award $1 million in grant funding to establish or expand residency programs and support primary care workforce beginning July 1, 2026. Award amounts will depend upon the number of applications received, overall funding, and availability of funds.
Funding will be awarded to applications that align with three key strategies:
- Establish new or expanding existing primary care GME residency programs by creating new first-year residency positions;
- Sustain existing primary care residency programs that maintain access to care in underserved areas or with underserved populations; and
- Develop new primary care workforce training pathways (nursing, physician assistant, or dental residency programs).
This funding opportunity is supported through the Primary Care Physician Training Expansion as authorized in House Bill 480.
