Creates grants to boost medical training in communities that need more doctors.
This bill, called the "Expanding Medical Education Act," would set up a new federal grant program. This program would give money to colleges and universities to start, improve, or expand medical and osteopathic schools. The goal is to train more doctors, especially those who will serve in areas with few healthcare options or from diverse backgrounds.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program under the Public Health Service Act to help establish or expand medical schools in underserved areas or at minority-serving institutions. If this bill becomes law, it would create a new grant program. This program would provide federal money to colleges and universities to build, improve, and expand medical and osteopathic schools, with a focus on increasing the number of doctors serving communities that need them most.
