The bill would allow grants for consortia of medical schools and certain rural or community health facilities. The grants would support community-based training for medical students in rural areas and medically underserved communities, including clinical rotations. Grants could last from one to five years. Applicants would need to describe their plans for improving care, evaluating the project, and continuing it after federal support ends.
Medical schools and eligible health facilities could apply together for grants. Medical students may have more opportunities for clinical training in rural and medically underserved communities. The bill does not guarantee that any particular facility or student will receive support.
The bill does not state grant amounts or total funding. It sets grant periods of one to five years.
