CHET partners with hospitals, academic institutions, federally qualified health centers, other clinical sites, healthcare membership organizations, and more.
CHET is seeking additional Maine-based partners to advance its mission of expanding rural clinical training opportunities for healthcare trainees. There are two ways to explore partnering with CHET:
Organizations seeking CHET funding must propose a new or expanded program that is not currently funded by a different mechanism. Existing programs are not eligible for funding.
CHET is funded by a diverse range of sources. Depending on the source of funding allocated to an awarded project, reporting requirements may vary.
Stand-alone programs, typically accredited (e.g., GME residency/fellowship, APP fellowship, pharmacy residency, dental residency)
Training programs administered by a hospital or clinical organization without an academic partner (e.g. phlebotomy, medical assistant, CNA, other)
Additional training of existing healthcare employees to expand clinical skills/services to existing employees without an academic partner
Special populations that could be supported include college students, those seeking career transitions in healthcare, veterans, underemployed adults, retirees, etc.
Programs in which the clinical training does not occur predominantly in rural areas.
Provider Residency and Fellowship Programs:
Stand-alone programs, typically accredited (e.g., GME residency/fellowship, APP fellowship, pharmacy residency, dental residency)
