First of Five Awards, New Positions Target Primary Care and Mental Health

Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) took a critical step
to advance health equity and access to care, awarding the first 200 of 1,000
Medicare-funded physician residency slots to enhance the health care workforce
and fund additional positions in hospitals serving underserved communities.
Approximately three-quarters of the new positions will be for primary care and
mental health specialties.

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) final rule
established policies to implement 1,000 new Medicare-funded physician residency
slots to qualifying hospitals authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2021, phasing in 200 slots per year over five years. In allocating these new
residency slots, CMS prioritized hospitals with training programs in geographic
areas demonstrating the greatest need for additional providers, as determined by
Health Professional Shortage Areas. The first round of 200 residency positions
awarded today are to 100 teaching hospitals across 30 states, the District of
Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and they will be effective July 1, 2023.

“These graduate medical education residency slot awards will help address access
to care challenges and workforce shortages in the highest need areas,” said CMS
Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. “The majority of the positions are for
primary care and mental health specialists, who are the foundation of our health
care system. I encourage potential applicants to apply to our next application
period, which opens in just a few weeks.”

“Prioritizing these awards to areas that need the most support will bolster the
workforce while also arming new providers with a unique understanding of the
specific needs of these communities,” said Dr. Meena Seshamani, Deputy
Administrator and Director for CMS’ Center for Medicare. “This is critical in
advancing our goals of providing high-quality care to all people.”

Of these direct graduate medical education slots, 125 of the residency slots are
being allocated for primary care (including obstetrics/gynecology), and 20 slots
are being allocated for psychiatry. Supporting the training of new primary care
and psychiatry residents demonstrates essential progress toward improving access
to critical services, including those necessary to address the mental health
crisis, in rural and underserved communities, as outlined in the U.S. Health and
Human Services’ (HHS) Initiative to Strengthen Primary Care and the CMS
Behavioral Health Strategy.

The application period for the second round of 200 residency positions will open
in January 2023 and close on March 31, 2023.
