Rural Health Training Opportunities Act

This bill changes how federal grants support rural health training programs. It requires grant applications to prioritize projects in rural areas (where participants live, projects are run, or employer partners are located) and mandates that all funded programs include transportation assistance plans - like helping participants access subsidized transit or paying for gas when public transit isn't available. The program must also report annually to Congress on how effectively it addresses healthcare worker shortages in rural communities. These changes apply to grant-funded training initiatives starting October 1, 2023.
