Description
This program provides significant financial support to freestanding children’s hospitals to bolster their graduate medical education (GME) programs, enabling them to train resident physicians and dentists. The funding helps ensure a robust pediatric health workforce by supporting hospitals that do not receive Medicare GME payments due to the nature of their patient populations and operational structures. The program is a key federal initiative to sustain and expand pediatric residency training in the United States.
