Community TEAMS Act of 2025

HR 3885, the Community TEAMS Act of 2025, creates a new grant program to expand medical student clinical training in rural and medically underserved communities. It provides funding for consortia of medical schools partnered with rural health clinics, community health centers, or facilities in underserved areas to support student rotations in outpatient settings. The grants, lasting 1-5 years, require applicants to detail project plans, sustainability, and how the program will improve community access to healthcare. This directly affects medical students, training facilities, and residents of high-need areas by aiming to build a sustainable physician workforce in those locations.
