Improving Access to Addiction Medicine Providers Act
This bill amends the Minority Fellowship Program under the Public Health Service Act to explicitly include addiction medicine as a field of study, alongside psychiatry. It updates program language to cover diagnosis related to addiction medicine and expands eligibility for federal fellowships. The policy directly affects minority health professionals training in addiction medicine by making their programs eligible for funding. This targeted change broadens an existing federal program to improve training pipelines for addiction medicine providers.
