Bill overview
The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 aims to increase the number of residency positions available in hospitals, particularly those in rural areas and health professional shortage areas. It proposes to expand Medicare payments for these positions by adding 2,000 new positions annually from 2026 to 2032, with a portion specifically allocated to hospitals already operating above their resident limits. The bill also directs the GAO to study and report on strategies to diversify the healthcare workforce, focusing on representation from underserved communities.
