HR 3046 United States House · 118th Congress

Medical Student Education Authorization Act of 2023

HR 3046 establishes a federal grant program to support medical education focused on primary care in underserved areas. It provides funding to eligible public colleges in states with severe primary care physician shortages, prioritizing institutions in regions with significant Indian Tribes and public-private partnerships. Grants require schools to use funds for hands-on community training, telehealth integration, mental health care coordination, scholarships, and programs specifically preparing students to serve Tribal, rural, or medically underserved communities after residency. The program authorizes $150 million annually for fiscal years 2023-2025 to expand this training pipeline.
