A new team-based care grant provides $15 000 to eligible family practices that have onboarded interprofessional team (IPT) members. The grant will help to address the costs of recruiting and onboarding into a practice, and it is just one of the resources provided by the GPSC to help break down barriers and provide supports for practices to implement team-based care.
The grant provides a lump sum payment of $15 000 for each FTE of net new eligible IPT positions filled by the family practice applying for the grant.
