Providing a Value-Based Care Foundation Today for Tomorrow’s Independent Primary Care Physicians
The Aledade FIRST (Fostering Independence, Readiness, Sustainability, and Togetherness) program aims to illuminate the independent primary care pathway by exposing new physicians to value-based care (VBC) and highlighting opportunities in Aledade FIRST partner practices and community health centers (CHCs). This program is intended to welcome the curious and equip the committed with a robust set of value-based primary care skills and support.
As such, participants will move through the program in a stepwise fashion, laying the foundation for a successful, well-connected career in value-based primary care. Beginning in October 2023, Aledade will provide up to 12 post-graduate (PGY-2) family medicine and general internal medicine residents the opportunity to enter the program and receive VBC training, support, and job placement. Applications are being accepted now.
