*Justification:* HRSA is providing a $1.175 million supplement to each of the 12 MSE grant recipients from cohort 2023; HRSA-23-124. The supplement will provide scholarships to medical students in their 3rd or 4th year, who are applying to primary care residency programs in general internal medicine, general pediatrics, family medicine, or internal medicine/pediatrics. This core funding is designed to support students early in their training who are aligned with the MSE Program purpose, goals, and objectives. These years are critical in a student's educational journey, as they begin clinical rotations, choose and apply for residency training specialties, and make firm decisions about future practice locations. This supplement provides additional incentive and support at a time when long-term career intentions are being considered. In addition, the following activities are required under this supplement:
(1) Support the development of faculty in general internal medicine, general pediatrics, family medicine, or internal medicine/pediatrics.
(2) Support the training of general internal medicine, general pediatrics, family medicine, or internal medicine/pediatrics primary care providers to become and/or serve as preceptors and provide stipend support as needed.
(3) Create/enhance and implement curricula that includes:
• Integrating behavioral health and primary care practice including prevention and treatment of opioid and other substance use disorders;
• Incorporating the use of telehealth and technology methods such as Multiple Chronic Conditions e-Care Plan, artificial intelligence and assistive technology, and mobile health technologies to provide telehealth and in-person care delivery;
• Facilitating health systems and practice transformation through the use of digital health, value-based care, and patient-centered approaches to improve quality, reduce costs, and adapt to new technologies and payment models; and
• Educating and training medical students on environmental health and community nutrition needs to Make America Healthy Again.
