JOIN US FOR THIS VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE!

Join us for this virtual meeting, titled Building Primary Care Workforce Capacity: Evidence-Based Training and Clinical Transformation. We will highlight the successes of the CWPCMH medical education transformation at Meharry Medical College. This will include describing curricula changes in medical and dental education using the PCMH model of training. Additionally, we will underscore the significance of the approval of the NCQA recognition of the primary care clinics as patient-centered clinical services. We will also summarize the impact of patient-centeredness in dental/oral health and the movement toward a dental home concept in the state of Tennessee.
