Physician Retraining & Reentry (PRR)

Created in collaboration with UC San Diego School of Medicine faculty, Physician Retraining and Reentry (PRR) has been helping experienced, medically licensed physicians prepare for reentry in the field of adult outpatient primary care nationwide since 2013.

PRR Candidates

PRR is an exceptional option for medically licensed physicians who wish to practice part-time or full-time adult outpatient primary care including:

• Working specialists interested in making a transition to general medicine
• Physicians who took a leave of absence and are ready to return to the clinic 
• Retired physicians who are interested in getting back in the game
• Physicians nearing retirement who wish to transition to part-time work
• Surgeons who, due to a disability, are no longer able to perform surgery, but are still fully capable of diagnosing and treating patients in a primary care setting

How PRR Works

PRR consists of 15 online modules that cover a wide range of critical subject matter from cardiology to dermatology, medical records and more. Participants are able to work through the program at their own pace, giving them ample time to master each course before taking a final examination, and a one-day, in-person practicum. The estimated time to complete PRR is 180 hours. Upon completion, graduates receive 180 AMA PRA Category 1™ credits from the UC San Diego School of Medicine and Certificate of Completion from PRR. PRR can also provide one-day of free shadowing for those who wish to get more experience before returning to the clinic.

Graduates

Students completing the course have gone on to work at the following:

• Telemedicine
• Federally funded community clinics
• Collegiate and industrial clinics,
• Emerging chain store clinics
• Hospital group clinics
• V.A./military clinics

Whether you took time off from practice to raise a family, care for a loved one or recover from an injury, PRR can help you get back to work.
