A 21st Century Health Care Workforce for the Nation

The 2015 President’s Budget proposes major new investments to build the health care workforce and improve the delivery of health care services, particularly primary care services, across the nation. This report describes its key components: a new Health Resources and Services Administration grant program geared toward modernizing graduate medical education, major expansion of the National Health Service Corps and extending enhanced Medicaid primary care payments through calendar year 2015. The report describes how these proposed investments build upon Department efforts, including those funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Affordable Care Act.
