Rural Health Training Opportunities Act

This bill prioritizes rural health workforce development by requiring federal grants for training programs to give preference to projects serving rural communities (where participants live, projects are held, or employer partners are located). It mandates that all funded projects include a transportation assistance plan, offering referrals to subsidized programs or direct payments for transit or vehicle costs when public transit isn't accessible. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress assessing how effectively these programs address rural health workforce shortages. These changes aim to improve access to health careers in underserved rural areas starting October 1, 2025.
