To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to make improvements to the redistribution of residency slots under the Medicare program after a hospital closes.

Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Bill 118 hr 10495, also known as the "Medicare Residency Slot Redistribution Improvement Act," aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act in order to enhance the redistribution of residency slots under the Medicare program following the closure of a hospital.

The bill addresses the issue of residency slots, which are positions for medical school graduates to receive additional training in a specific medical specialty. When a hospital closes, the residency slots at that facility become vacant, leading to a shortage of training opportunities for medical students.

The proposed legislation seeks to improve the redistribution of these residency slots to other hospitals or medical facilities in need. By doing so, the bill aims to ensure that medical students have access to the necessary training opportunities to become qualified healthcare professionals. Overall, the "Medicare Residency Slot Redistribution Improvement Act" aims to address the challenges that arise when hospitals close and ensure that medical students have access to the training they need to provide quality healthcare services in the future.
