HEAL-AI Act

The HEAL-AI Act (HR 6077) establishes a federal grant program to fund medical schools and teaching hospitals in training medical students, residents, and faculty on using artificial intelligence in healthcare. It requires grantees to develop curricula covering AI diagnostics, ethical issues (like bias and patient privacy), and clinical integration, while limiting administrative costs to 10% of funds. Schools must report annually on program progress and publicly share educational materials, with priority given to institutions serving underserved communities. The program allocates $1 million annually from 2026-2030, totaling $5 million over five years, to support competency-based AI literacy in medical education.
