AI Summary
This bill establishes a grant program to support the establishment, improvement, or expansion of schools of medicine and osteopathic medicine in underserved areas. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, can award grants to institutions of higher education (including consortiums) for these purposes. Priority will be given to institutions proposing to establish a new medical school or branch campus in an area without one, or to minority-serving institutions. Grant funds can be used for recruiting and retaining students, developing curriculum focused on rural and underserved populations, planning and construction, accreditation, hiring faculty and staff, and other related activities. The bill requires annual reporting on the program's activities and outcomes, including the demographics and specialty choices of students who graduate from supported schools or campuses.
