The Reproductive Health Care Training Act of 2026 establishes a federal grant program to expand training for abortion care providers across the United States. The Health Resources and Services Administration would award grants to medical schools, academic health centers, and other health care organizations in states where abortion training is permitted to develop or expand educational programs in abortion care for doctors, residents, and advanced practice clinicians. The legislation prioritizes funding for institutions located in states with comprehensive abortion training, those that train providers from states with limited abortion access, and minority-serving institutions, with special focus on serving underrepresented and medically underserved communities. Funded activities can include clinical training programs, telehealth training, scholarships for trainees, and partnerships with community health organizations. The bill authorizes $25 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with recipient organizations required to submit annual reports to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Congress on program outcomes.
