"New legislation from a group of House Democrats would establish a grant program within the Department of Health and Human Services to help fund artificial intelligence training and education courses for medical students. Under the proposal, qualified medical schools and residency sponsoring institutions looking to bolster their AI training and education efforts would be eligible to apply for grants for up to $100,000."
"The program would be housed within the Health Resources and Services Administration and would be authorized to distribute $1 million each year from fiscal year 2026 to 2030. The measure was introduced on Tuesday by Rep. Nanette Barragán, D-Calif., and is co-sponsored by Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Ted Lieu, D-Calif. The legislation looks to enhance AI literacy for "skill-building and decisionmaking" across the medical profession by supporting uses of the emerging capabilities for data analysis, training initiatives like virtual simulations, personalizing education and providing "the latest updates to health care.""
