The Colorado Provider Recruitment (CPR) program was created by the
Colorado Rural Health Center to address healthcare workforce shortages
in rural and underserved communities in Colorado. CPR provides a
variety of recruitment and retention related services to both communities
searching for healthcare providers, as well as providers who wish
to practice in rural or underserved communities. A list of community
and provider services can be found below.

What is 3RNet?
The National Rural Recruitment
and Retention Network (3R Net) is made up of state organizations
such as State Offices of Rural Health, AHECs, Cooperative
Agreement Agencies and State Primary Care Associations.
These not-for-profit organizations help health professionals
locate practice sites in rural areas throughout the country.

Developed by the Colorado Medical Society, the expanded purpose
of CROP is to strengthen the ability of rural medically underserved,
or potentially underserved, communities to recruit and retain
physicians. While medical education loan repayment remains a
significant piece of CROP, communities will now be able to apply
for assistance that will meet their specific needs.
