AI Summary
This bill revises provisions related to graduate medical education in Nevada by transferring the administration of the Graduate Medical Education Grant Program from the Office of Science, Innovation and Technology to the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill prohibits medical institutions receiving grants from eliminating or reducing their residency training and postdoctoral fellowship programs without approval from the Department, which must evaluate any proposed reduction based on patient needs and potential impact on healthcare provider availability. The bill expands the purposes for grant awards to include supporting programs training more residents than their Medicare-funded positions and allows grants to help build administrative capacity and recruit essential personnel. Additionally, the bill requires the Department to explore using federal Medicaid funds to support medical residency programs, with a focus on addressing healthcare provider shortages in critical geographical areas and specialties. The legislation also includes an appropriation of $4.5 million for each of the fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to support the Graduate Medical Education Grant Program, and makes various technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of program administration.
