TPCA Scholarships for Train New Trainers Fellowships

TPCA is excited to offer scholarships to 15 primary care providers
for these UCI School of Medicine fellowship programs:

  • Train New Trainers Primary Care Psychiatry Fellowship (TNT PCP)

  • Train New Trainers Primary Care – Training and Education in Addiction Medicine Fellowship (TNT PC-TEAM)

Scholarship Coverage

The TPCA scholarship will cover the $15,500 tuition, along with a $2,000 stipend to the health center to support the PCPs full participation.

Payment Details

  • Tuition payment will be made directly to UCI.
  • Participation stipend will be paid to your employer.

    Are you eligible?

    Scholarship applicants must be employed as a primary care provider at a nonprofit community-based primary care health clinic that accepts all patients regardless of the patient’s ability to pay for services.

    Eligible provider clinics should accept a wide variety of insurance plans including TennCare, Medicare, and have allowances for uninsured patients to pay for services on a sliding fee based on their income.

    Primary care providers employed at a charity clinic that accepts only uninsured patients are eligible.
