Community TEAMS Act of 2025

This legislation amends the Public Health Service Act to create a new grant program aimed at increasing medical student training in underserved areas. It authorizes the Director to award grants to eligible entities to expand community-based training opportunities for medical students in rural areas and medically underserved communities. The primary goal of these grants is to facilitate long-term, sustainable physician practice in high-need communities by supporting medical student clinical rotations in local healthcare facilities, including outpatient settings. Eligible entities for these grants must be consortia comprising one or more osteopathic or allopathic medical schools, partnered with either a rural health clinic, a Federally qualified health center, or another healthcare facility located in a medically underserved community. Grant periods can range from one to five years, and applications must detail project plans, sustainability strategies, and how the initiative will improve access to quality healthcare services for local populations.
