Medical Professionals Recruitment and Continuing Education Programs: The Indian Health Service (IHS) Office of Clinical and Preventive Services (OCPS) is accepting competitive cooperative agreement applications for support for medical professionals' recruitment and continuing education programs. The purpose of this IHS cooperative agreement is to enhance medical professional recruitment and continuing education programs, services and activities for AI/AN people. The agency wants to facilitate continuing medical education for AI/AN physicians through annual meetings and other venues that are culturally competent and sensitive. Another purpose is to recruit AI/AN health professionals to pursue jobs that serve AI/AN people and improve the health care delivery system. A third purpose is to provide opportunities for AI/AN youth to learn about the various Federal agencies and possible careers within the Federal Government that will result in a national mentoring program and creation of a pipeline for AI/AN youth into health careers. These activities should result in more AI/AN youth pursuing careers in the health professions thereby increasing the number of AI/AN medical professionals in the workforce.
