Support Family Medicine's GME Modernization Pilot

Ask Your Representative to Co-sponsor Primary Care Workforce Access Improvement Act of 2011 (H.R. 3667)

The introduction of this bill is the culmination of family medicine's efforts over the last 3 years to introduce reforms in the way Medicare funds graduate medical education. The bill is a budget-neutral way to test new models for the delivery of GME funding. The pilot project changes the stream of GME funding to make it directly available to medical education entities whose priority is training the primary care workforce. It provides a valuable opportunity to explore modern training techniques and allows for an increase in the number of primary care physicians.

Visit the Alert to contact your representative now. Visit the GME Modernization Pllot Page to receive talking point, links to FAQs, and background information.
