Indiana Physicians applaud lawmakers for continuing to fund medical training programs in State budget Sunday, February 28, 2021 4:00 AM The Indiana Physician Coalition applauded legislators from the Indiana House of Representatives for their work to continue funding critical medical training programs. Lawmakers from that chamber on Monday voted to approve House Bill 1001, which sets the State budget.
Members of the Indiana Senate will take up the budget during the second half of the 2021 legislative session beginning March 1.
The Indiana Physician Coalition is advocating to increase or maintain the $8 million biennial appropriation over two years to the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Board to develop and sustain physician residency training programs throughout the state, including in rural and underserved areas.
