Bill overview
The Expanding Medical Education Act aims to increase the number of medical and osteopathic schools in underserved areas of the United States. It establishes a grant program that provides funding to institutions of higher education – including consortiums – to establish, improve, or expand existing medical or osteopathic schools, or to create new branch campuses. The grants prioritize institutions located in areas with no existing medical schools, minority-serving institutions, or medically underserved communities, and encourage the recruitment of diverse medical students.
