Medical Student Education Authorization Act of 2025
HR 5428 creates a federal grant program to support medical education for students planning to work in underserved areas. It provides $75 million annually (2026-2028) to accredited public medical schools in states with severe primary care physician shortages, prioritizing schools in states with multiple Indian Tribes and partnerships with tribal organizations or health centers. Grantees must use funds for community-based training, developing primary care programs emphasizing Tribal/rural underserved communities, faculty development, scholarships, and tracking graduates' practice locations. The bill directly affects medical schools and future physicians committed to serving Tribal, rural, or medically underserved communities after residency.
