Legislative Resources

We wanted to share some legislative resources mentioned at our meeting with the whole OSR.

1. Washington Highlights is a summary published by the Advocacy office with a summary of the newsworthy items from the previous week:https://www.aamc.org/advocacy/washhigh/

2. Second Opinion is a comment written by Dr. Atul Grover, the AAMC Chief Advocacy Officer, to acquaint stakeholders and decision-makers with the “issues of the day”. Subscription details and an archive old issues can be found here:https://www.aamc.org/advocacy/secondopinion/

3. The Medical Education Debt Act: A Zero‐Cost Proposal. I have attached a Bill proposed by the GME to solve many GME-funding issues.

4. The AAMC’s site summarizing their position on GME funding:https://www.aamc.org/initiatives/gmefunding/
