This bill aims to improve access to family physicians by establishing a primary care and family medicine residency grant program. The program will provide funding to support the training of primary care providers and family physicians at teaching community health centers that meet certain criteria, such as having a proven record of placing graduates in areas of unmet need or hosting programs in underserved areas. The grant amounts will be at least 85% of the average Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) annual reimbursement rate per resident and will cover the entire 3 to 4 year residency program.
