Funded by the Joint Standing Committee on Rural Issues and managed by RCCbc, the RCME Community Program provides funding and implementation support to groups of physicians living and delivering care in Rural Subsidiary Agreement communities to address their collective learning needs. RCME Community Program funding supports family physicians, specialists and interprofessional learning.

Guidelines for Community Program

• Community Equipment Purchasing

• RCME – Guideline for Community Speaker Fees

• Community Physician Travel

The RCME Community Program’s skilled team members are embedded within RCCbc and work directly with rural communities to support the delivery of the program. Their goal is to help your community access and effectively use RCME Community Program funding. Support can include assistance with: 

• designing or describing your local RCME Community Program model, including an annual budget;
• developing agreements with other communities if you want to include several communities;
• building or adapting policies and processes and anything else you need to have a robust model.
