@Intealth @NCSLorg @IndianaUniv @HannahMaxey1 Physician recruitment will continue to be an "arms race" between states unless we invest in #ExpandGME to produce more docs. Thanks to NM Rep. Ferrary @rjferrary53, HI Sen. San Buenaventura @senjoydistrict2 and UT Sen. Anderegg @Political_Jake for a great #NCSLsummit session!

[MedEd Matt @MatthewShick]

@Intealth @NCSLorg Great to see @IndianaUniv @HannahMaxey1 include "foreign-educated professional" as a policy lever for addressing state health care provider shortages - IMGs are already 25% of US doctors and the only opportunity for immediate workforce growth nationwide.

[Intealth @Intealth]

Attending the @NCSLorg “Strength in Numbers: Bolstering the Health Workforce” session? Spoiler alert! #IMGs are the answer. If you’re at #NCSLSummit, stop by Intealth’s booth 347 to talk to Intealth experts or visit https://t.co/8zQNt6aCw7 to learn more.

[Intealth @Intealth]

Thank you @RepTerriSewell and @RepBrianFitz for championing the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act, which will improve access to patient care, especially in medically underserved areas where IMGs are vital members of health care teams. #ExpandGME. https://t.co/Tvd3lHz9A4

[Intealth @Intealth]

Thank you @SenatorMenendez, @JohnBoozman, @SenatorCollins & @SenSchumer for your efforts to #ExpandGME through the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act. This will aid in ensuring a diverse physician workforce, which includes IMGs. https://t.co/Ot3I5F3VSt

[Intealth @Intealth]

Diversity is essential to U.S. health care. On July 1, new trainees, including thousands of #IMGs, will join U.S. #GME programs, bringing a wealth of diversity to our health care teams. Join Intealth in celebrating and supporting this diversity. Read more: https://t.co/EmgRF7FPjh

@jbcarmody I'm confident that we and US medical schools do right by our students. Learn more at: https://t.co/vD8kyvej4y

[MedEd Matt @MatthewShick]

@jbcarmody I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure AAMC operates under US antitrust law (i.e., don't tell medical schools what to charge). That's said, LCME does look at impact on indebtedness. BUT if it's already arguably the best investment in higher ed, and schools are increasing aid and advising...

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) makes it easier for doctors to practice in undeserved communities. It is time for Congress to step up and #SavePSLF. More stories here: https://t.co/tAz0IVnTdf

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

During today’s @EdLaborCmte hearing, Congress needs to remember: future doctors use #PSLF so they can continue to serve the communities that need them most #SavePSLF https://t.co/HYR9WNYciT

[MedEd Matt @MatthewShick]

@jbcarmody Yes, Med school remains an excellent investment!

Students comfortably repay loans (evid: income-driven repayment, low default, many studies)

We need to tell the world re: ROI, scholarships, institutional aid, forgiveness prgms... otherwise we scare off underrepresented pipeline

In the last month, we sent more than 11,000 letters to Congress to ask them to support more federally funded residency positions. There's still time for you to be a part of this -- write your members of Congress today & tell them to support expanding GME! https://t.co/PnLqSZrP7Y

[AAMC @AAMCtoday]

To celebrate the holiday, we’re honoring the cultural diversity that makes the medical workforce, and America, strong.
