CalMedForce administers annual grants to fund new residency positions at graduate medical education (GME) programs throughout California.
CalMedForce dedicates voter-approved, state tobacco tax revenues from Proposition 56 (2016) to train physicians and help California address its growing physician shortage; which is estimated to reach a 10,500-clinician shortfall by 2030.
Awardees are selected based on their ability to support and expand the physician workforce to meet the demands of California’s diverse and growing patient population, with a focus on medically underserved populations.
