A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require the collection of data regarding graduate medical education.

Bill 118 s 5464, also known as the "Graduate Medical Education Data Collection Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to make changes to title XVIII of the Social Security Act. The main goal of this bill is to require the collection of data related to graduate medical education.

The bill would mandate that information regarding graduate medical education programs be collected and reported on a regular basis. This data would include details such as the number of residents and fellows in each program, the types of medical specialties being trained for, and the locations of the programs.

By collecting this data, the government would be better able to understand and track the state of graduate medical education in the United States. This information could be used to identify areas where there may be shortages of medical professionals, as well as to assess the effectiveness of current training programs. Overall, the Graduate Medical Education Data Collection Act seeks to improve the transparency and accountability of graduate medical education programs, ultimately aiming to ensure that the healthcare system in the US is adequately equipped with well-trained medical professionals.
