GME Coalition Presents Consensus Workforce Reforms to US Senate Committee
Today, a broad and diverse coalition of workforce stakeholders, including ASA, formally urged the U.S. Senate Finance Committee to support additional GME funded positions. The coalition restated its support for the bipartisan Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act (S.1302/H.R. 2389), which would provide 14,000 new Medicare-supported GME positions over seven years. The Committee was urged you to consider “the persistent patient access issues that already exist, and acknowledge that they will continue to worsen without additional investment in GME.” Importantly, the coalition also urged the Committee to address workforce needs beyond primary care.
