The Community Training, Education, and Access for Medical Students Act of 2025 establishes a federal grant program to help medical students train in rural and medically underserved areas. Under the bill, the Director of the Health Resources and Services Administration can award grants lasting one to five years to partnerships between medical schools and local health care facilities—such as rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers—to support clinical rotations and training opportunities for medical students in high-need communities. The legislation aims to encourage physicians to eventually practice in these underserved areas by giving them hands-on experience there during their education. Eligible applicants must submit detailed applications explaining their projects, demonstrating how the training will improve community health access, and outlining plans to sustain their programs after federal funding ends. The bill does not specify the total funding amount but amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize these grants as part of broader rural health improvement efforts.
