Dear President Biden, Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy:
On behalf of the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Advocacy Coalition, the undersigned groups urge you to ensure that federal support for physician training is included in upcoming legislative efforts to improve the nation’s infrastructure. Physicians are a vital part of our health care infrastructure, and it is critical that we train more in order to meet the needs of our diverse and growing nation, ensure patient access to care, and prepare for the next public health crisis.
