S 1036 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Improving Access to Addiction Medicine Providers Act

This bill amends an existing fellowship program under the Public Health Service Act to specifically include "addiction medicine" as a qualifying specialty. It modifies Section 597 to expand the program's scope, allowing medical professionals training in addiction medicine to participate in the Minority Fellowship Program. The change directly affects physicians and medical trainees seeking fellowship opportunities in addiction medicine, particularly those from underrepresented groups, by making this specialty eligible for the program. The bill does not create new funding or programs but adjusts the existing program's eligibility criteria.
