Bill overview
This bill, the Medical Education for a Diverse America Act, aims to improve healthcare by ensuring medical residents receive adequate training in culturally and linguistically appropriate care. It changes how hospitals calculate the number of resident equivalents they need to pay Medicare, specifically counting time spent in residency programs focused on this type of training. This will incentivize hospitals to prioritize and provide this crucial training to their residents. The changes will take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
