Title: ●Public Health Service Act, Rural Physician Training Grant Program, Definition of "Underserved Rural Community" 
Abstract: This regulation is required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148). The purpose is to define the term “underserved rural community,” with respect to the Rural Physician Training Grant Program. For purposes of the Rural Physician Training Grant program only, HRSA combined existing definitions of “underserved” and “rural” by using the definition of “rural” utilized by the ORHP Rural Health Grant programs and the definition of “underserved” established by HRSA’s Office of Shortage Designation in the Bureau of Health Professions.
