AI Summary
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 teaching community health centers accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to train primary care providers and family physicians. Eligible applicants must have a proven record of placing graduates in areas of unmet need, attracting underrepresented minorities and economically disadvantaged groups, or hosting programs in areas of unmet need. The grants will cover at least 85% of the average annual reimbursement rate per resident for the 3-4 year residency program, and funds will come from the Health Care Workforce Transformation Fund.
