Bill 118 HR 3046, also known as the Medical Student Education Authorization Act of 2023, aims to address the growing need for more healthcare professionals by increasing federal funding for medical student education programs. The bill seeks to improve the quality of medical education and training by providing grants to medical schools and teaching hospitals to support innovative curriculum development, faculty training, and student support services.

One of the key provisions of the bill is the establishment of a grant program to support medical schools in developing and implementing new educational programs that focus on primary care, underserved communities, and healthcare disparities. These programs aim to increase the number of medical students pursuing careers in primary care and practicing in medically underserved areas.

This is intended to address the shortage of healthcare providers in rural and urban areas with limited access to medical care.
