This resource guide was developed to inform rural health care administrators of the federal Bureau of Health Professions' (BHPr) grant, loan, and scholarship programs. These programs are intended to foster rural staff recruitment, retention, and training; increase career opportunities for minorities and disadvantaged populations; and encourage rural health education. The objective of these BHPr programs is to further the development of affiliations between health service programs in rural, underserved areas and health professions training programs. BHPr programs fall into four general areas: promoting primary care education; expanding the capacity of nursing and allied health professions education and practice; increasing the numbers of health care providers from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds; and strategies to recruit and retain health care providers for underserved populations. Fact sheets on individual programs include specific purpose, methods, program priorities, resources, and program contact for inquiries. A final section briefly describes five health training models or examples where health professions training programs have linked with rural health programs to encourage health professionals to remain in rural areas.
