AHA voices support for Medical Student Education Authorization Act
AHA on May 4 voiced support for bipartisan legislation in the House and Senate that would authorize through fiscal year 2025 a federal program that provides grants to public graduate medical education programs for physicians, with a focus on states with the most severe primary care provider shortages.
“Our nation simply does not have enough clinicians to care for patients today and not enough are in the training pipeline for the future,” AHA said in letters of support for the bill, reintroduced this week by Reps. Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Dina Titus, D-Nev., and Sens. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.
