Does H.R. 3200 support Graduate Medical Education (GME)?
H.R. 3200 does include provisions that support GME and are consistent with AMA policy. Specifically, the bill authorizes the re-distribution of unused GME positions to qualifying hospitals, with preference to hospitals that emphasize primary care training. The bill would also authorize: increased training in non-provider settings (e.g., outside hospital setting); a demonstration project for qualifying GME at teaching health centers (e.g., Federally qualified health centers that develop a primary care residency program); flexibility in the GME program to cover activities outside the hospital setting (e.g., didactic conferences and seminars and supervised clinical experiences in private physician offices); redistributing GME residency slots after a hospital closure; and a study and report on medical residency training programs.
