HR 534 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a study on medical student choice in primary care and issue a report.

This Pennsylvania House Resolution directs the Joint State Government Commission to study why medical students choose or avoid primary care careers. The study will examine factors such as student debt, medical school training programs, and diversity initiatives to understand how these influence specialty selection. The commission is required to gather input from medical schools, health organizations, and other experts before submitting a final report to the General Assembly within one year. The resulting report will include findings and recommendations, which may propose new laws or funding to improve the state's primary care workforce.
