What it does
The bill would amend the Public Health Service Act to expand palliative and hospice care education and training by awarding grants to medical, nursing, and allied health programs to increase faculty, support physician training, and provide academic career awards for palliative care specialists. It prioritizes programs serving rural, underserved, pediatric, and minority populations, and funds short-term intensive fellowships to train faculty and practitioners in interprofessional team-based palliative care. The bill also prohibits duplication of existing federally funded education efforts and sets limits on award amounts and numbers of funded programs.
