The California Fund for Advancing Physician Education and Workforce Growth has officially opened its application cycle to award up to $3.75 million in Grow Grants.

- Increase the number of medical residents and fellows who intend to train in high-need specialties;
- Expand medical education in regions with physician shortages; and/or,
- Enhance care for uninsured and Medi-Cal patients across California.
