2014. What a year. Slowly but surely our state is recovering from the previous years’ recession. The Affordable Care Act is changing the landscape of health care unlike anything in my lifetime. The country is talking about healthcare through vibrant and robust debates- which is a good thing. People are talking about what health care means or should mean for Americans and I believe this is a long overdue conversation.
Denise D. Kornegay, MSW Georgia Statewide AHEC Network Executive Director
Georgia has a real crisis in primary care. The very name of this component of health care indicates it should be a priority. The Statewide AHEC Network continues to host its annual Primary Care Summit in the spring of each year. And the recommendations that emerge from this Summit provide the work plan for the Network and all of the Stakeholders for the following 12 months. The 2013 Primary Care Summit provided a robust series of recommendations for the state, and kept all of us in the Network and stakeholders who attend our Summit quite busy for the 2014 legislative session. The summary of this summit can be found on our website (www. gru.edu/ahec). Much was accomplished during the 2014 Georgia General Assembly. Our legislators are demonstrating a sophistication of thought and knowledge that is resulting in real changes for Primary Care. While the complete story of what was accomplished is to long for these pages, I do want to highlight the innovative legislation that was passed creating a Preceptor Tax Deduction to recognize our steadfast and critically valuable cadre of community based faculty who provide uncompensated teaching for Georgia’s medical, osteopathic, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner students. SB 391 created this new program- the first of its kind in the nation. Since its passage, my office has been deluged with calls from other states and national associations who are interested in following our lead.
Executive Director’s Report
Recommendations from the 2014 Primary Care Summit can be found on our website along with white pages describing each recommendation and the problem it seeks to address. We are excited to present these to our legislative and executive branch allies as we move into the 2015 General Assembly in January. Georgia is blessed with five medical schools, many with regional campuses. This expanding footprint in medical education is a major opportunity for the AHECs and others to influence medical students towards primary care and towards practice in rural or other underserved areas. Many of our new recommendations are centered on this goal. The Statewide AHEC Network is comprised of six regional AHEC centers and the Program Office.

Program Office Initiatives Preceptor Tax Incentive Program-PTIP Supporting Georgia’s Primary Care Workforce Education Programs In April 2014, Governor Nathan Deal signed into law legislation creating tax deductions for community-based faculty physicians who provide training to medical, osteopathic, physician assistant and nurse practitioner students from Georgia educational programs.
www.gru.edu/ahec/ptip
Under Senate Bill 391, Georgia physicians who provide clinical training to health professions students for a minimum of three (to a maximum of 10) rotations, and who are not compensated through any other source for teaching medical, osteopathic, PA or NP students, can claim a tax deduction of $1,000 for every 160 hours of training provided in emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, OB/GYN, pediatrics, psychiatry and general surgery for eligible students. Only rotations supporting Georgia’s public or private medical, osteopathic, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner programs are allowable. The tax deduction was recommended by the Statewide AHEC’s Primary Care Medical Shortages Summit as a way to recognize and reward uncompensated physicians who are providing critical training for identified health professions students. The recommendation was presented to the General Assembly through legislation initially introduced by Representative Ben Harbin. The legislature provided no opposition to the bill. This is the first legislation of its kind passed in the United States. The Statewide AHEC Program Office was charged with administratively managing the program and providing tax letters for eligible providers each January for the previous calendar year. Information about the new program can be found at www.gru.edu/ahec/ptip. Primary Care Summit In early 2008, the AHEC Network began studying closely the issue of primary care workforce shortages in Georgia. In November of that year we hosted our first Primary Care Summit. Early on it was apparent that the topic itself was quite broad and that our efforts would be more effective if we focused on one component of the primary care workforce thus the decision to focus on the medical profession. The mission of the annual Summit is: “Develop Strategies to meet the primary care physician workforce needs for the citizens of Georgia by 2020.”

In 2011, the decision was made to make the Primary Care Summit an annual event and address the broad issues impacting primary care physician shortages. The Statewide AHEC accepted the role of convener of partners committed to addressing the state’s primary care physician workforce challenges. The Summits are interactive and participants work in small groups. The small groups work to identify recommendations by each phase of the medical education pipeline. The Medical Education Pipeline

A follow up meeting is convened following each summit to take discuss the priority recommendations. White papers are written to define the recommendations and to clarify the requests. Meetings are held and presentations made to House and Senate committees, legislators, budget staff, medical schools and multiple stakeholders to share information on the priority recommendations to move the recommendations forward. The recommendations and white papers originating from the 2014 Primary Care Summit can be found at www.gru.edu/ahec. The next Primary Care Summit will be held in spring of 2015. Automated Data Management System/Automated Report Management System The Georgia AHEC Network is working to convert the data system used for the past 12 years into a more advanced cloud-based system to provide tracking of Health Career Programs, Community Based Student Education (clinical training) experiences, and Continuing Education programs. This migration will afford the AHEC the ability to track participants and programs over time and will provide access to immediate Outcome Measure reviews and reporting. This new system allows tracking of students from the first AHEC touch all the way through the AHEC pipeline into eventual practice. Each center and the program office has an automated data management system (ADMS) to manage its own data. An automated data reporting system (ARMS) is being built at the Program Office to allow uploaded data from all six centers to be obtained and consolidated for reporting to federal, state and local stakeholders.

Careers in Health Care Twenty-four health career videos depicting different health care professional disciplines as well as “tours” of various healthcare environments are located on the Program Office web page. These were developed to complement the Georgia Health Careers Manual. The videos are produced by the Georgia Statewide Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Network through the six regional AHEC centers. Communities are experiencing a shortage of well-trained healthcare professionals. These Health Careers videos allow students, teachers and adults to see opportunities in many fantastic careers that pay high dividends with job satisfaction, earning capacity, and mobility while touring the facilities where health professionals work. The videos can be found at http://www. gru.edu/ahec/careers/. Georgia Rural Medical Scholars Program The Georgia Rural Medical Scholars Program (GRMSP) was established in Washington County, Georgia in 2010. This program was established through a partnership between Washington County, the Georgia Statewide Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Network, and the University of Georgia’s Archway Partnership: Health. The program was established to provide medical students multiple training opportunities for their required 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations in the same community, in addition to exposing them to the quality of life in rural Georgia. Through the Georgia Rural Medical Scholar Program students have the opportunity to learn under practicing physicians of the highest caliber and interact with the entire community. Currently medical students from Mercer University School of Medicine and the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University are participating in the program. Students are completing primary care rotations in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery and Community Medicine. The GRMSP is a community driven program with an emphasis on “growing their own” medical professionals. The GRMSP has an Executive Director in Sandersville who oversees the daily operations of the program and a 12 member Board of Directors. There are a number of community volunteers that assist with the social integration aspect of the program to ensure that students fully experience an enriching professional and social life in rural Georgia. While the GRMSP is currently in one community in Georgia there are plans to expand to other AHEC regions in the state.

AHEC / GA PCOM Anchor The Anchor was created in collaboration with the GA Campus-Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), local hospitals and local health care providers in the Three Rivers AHEC region. The mission of the program is to: “Build a Healthcare Workforce for Georgia with focus on primary care and rural/underserved communities.� In June of 2009 the inaugural 3rd year Anchor class (12 students) began clinical training in rotations which were scheduled in community-based training sites in Columbus and LaGrange. Since 2009 the Anchor has grown and expanded into the Magnolia Coastlands AHEC, SOWEGA AHEC and the Blue Ridge AHEC. Medical students chose Anchor because they get to stay in one city/region for the majority of their 3rd year rotations, they get to know the local medical community very well and have oneon-one teaching with their community based faculty. The Anchor has been presented as a best practice physician recruitment program to community interest groups and health organizations such as the Georgia Rural Health Association and Georgia Association of Primary Health Care. The Anchor also received recognition at three national conferences: National AHEC Organization, American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and the National Rural Health Association.

AHEC / Mercer University Physician CIP (Community Integration Program) In 2013 the Mercer University Physician Assistant Program partnered with Georgia AHECs to encourage their Physician Assistant students to work in rural Georgia by creating the Community Integration Program. Select cities have been identified outside of the Atlanta area where students will move to and complete all of their clinical rotations. The focus of the program is to allow students to complete all of their core clinical rotations in medically underserved areas over a 15 month period. Students will complete their core rotations in primary care, internal medicine, general surgery, mental health, and orthopedics in their CIP community. Ultimately, this program will foster students’ sense of belonging to their designated CIP community, and provide them with an opportunity to see if they would like to remain within the area and become local providers on a permanent basis. For the 2014-2015 academic year the Blue Ridge AHEC, Foothills AHEC and Three Rivers AHEC will be partnering with the Mercer University Physician Assistant Program to assist in the planning and implementation of this innovative program.
