The HEAL-AI Act would create competitive grants for accredited medical schools and residency institutions to teach medical students, residents, and faculty how to use artificial intelligence in medicine. Training could cover AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment, clinical decision-making, bias, patient privacy, transparency, and practical demonstrations. Grant recipients would report on their programs and make grant-funded educational materials publicly available.
Medical students, residents, and faculty could receive AI training if their school or residency institution receives a grant. Schools serving medically underserved communities would receive priority, and grants would be spread across different regions where practicable.
The bill authorizes $1 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. A school or institution could receive no more than $100,000 in a fiscal year, and no more than 10 percent of a grant could be used for administrative costs. The bill does not state how much funding would ultimately be awarded.
The bill's stated purpose is to support education and training in using artificial intelligence in the medical profession.
