AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Geriatrics Workforce Improvement Act", amends the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize and update funding for education and training programs related to geriatrics, which is the branch of medicine focused on healthcare for older adults. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 753(d) of the existing law to authorize appropriations of $48,245,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to support these geriatric education and training programs. By providing consistent and dedicated funding over this five-year period, the legislation aims to ensure continued investment in developing healthcare professionals with expertise in caring for the elderly population, which is becoming increasingly important as the United States experiences demographic shifts with a growing number of older citizens.
