The Aledade FIRST Program

Illuminating The Pathway to Value-Based Primary Care

The Aledade FIRST (Fostering Independence, Readiness, Sustainability and Togetherness) program aims to illuminate the primary care pathway by educating new physicians on value-based care (VBC) and spotlighting career opportunities in Aledade FIRST partner practices and community health centers (CHCs).

This program is intended to welcome the curious and equip the committed with a robust set of skills designed to enhance and not replace the training new physicians receive in their formal residency training.

Our 15-month program offers the following to set up residents for success:

Asynchronous value-based care and general practice management online curriculum.
Physician-led group discussions with ongoing tech-enabled peer learning.
Opportunity for a subsidized clinical rotation in a value-based care practice setting
Financial incentives up to $60,000 that align with NHSC and other loan forgiveness organizations.
Coordination of job placement in an Aledade partner practice or community health center.

Episode 179 | From Residency to Value-Based Care: Lessons from Aledade FIRST

I think Aledade FIRST is a great way to be a soundboard for a resident who is not going to have a lot of wisdom navigating contracts, or navigating the transition from residency to practice and what to expect.
