Wicker championing legislation to create grant program for rural medical providers
SUMMARY: Sen. Roger Wicker and Sen. Bob Casey have introduced bipartisan federal legislation to support medical training in rural areas to address physician shortages. The proposed grant program under the Health Resources and Services Administration aims to increase community-based training for medical students, who are more likely to remain in rural communities if they train there. Community Health Centers could expand training to over 10,000 medical students. The initiative seeks sustainable healthcare solutions for underserved regions like Mississippi's rural counties, aiming to improve long-term medical services in these communities.
