The Medical Student Education Authorization Act of 2025 establishes a federal grant program to support medical education at public universities, with a focus on training doctors to work in underserved areas. Grants will go to accredited public institutions located in states facing shortages of primary care physicians, prioritizing schools in states with significant Native American populations and those partnering with tribal organizations, rural clinics, and federally qualified health centers. Eligible schools can use grant funds to develop training programs emphasizing primary care, offer scholarships to medical students, build partnerships with rural and tribal health providers, and increase faculty capacity. The bill authorizes $75 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2028, with individual grants of at least $1 million per year for up to five years, and requires schools to contribute matching funds of up to 10 percent of the federal grant amount.
