Reps. Terri Sewell (D-Ala.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) today introduced the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2023. This bipartisan legislation would gradually expand the number of Medicare-supported medical residency positions by 14,000 over seven years. The AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) enthusiastically endorses this legislation as a key strategy to address the growing physician shortage and improve access to care nationwide.
