HR 1654 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Georgia's medical schools; prioritize patient-centered care; urge

This resolution urges Georgia's medical schools to prioritize patient-centered care in their training programs, with a specific focus on improving maternal health outcomes. It calls for medical education to include shared decision-making, informed consent, transparent communication, and respectful maternity care practices to address Georgia's high maternal mortality rate. The bill encourages healthcare facilities and medical institutions to implement trauma-informed training and communication standards for all staff who interact with patients. It also promotes evidence-based education on bias and accountability mechanisms to reduce disparities in treatment and strengthen trust between patients and providers. This non-binding resolution does not create new laws but expresses the House's position on how medical education should be structured.
