house 07/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to encourage specialty medicine physicians to serve in rural communities by offering a loan repayment program that helps reduce their educational debt in exchange for a multi-year commitment to practice where they are needed most. This aims to improve access to specialized medical care in underserved areas.
