What does this do?
This bill would create federal grants for medical schools, nursing programs, and community health centers to train doctors and other clinicians in gender-affirming care. A separate set of grants would support rural providers by funding networks where experienced clinicians share knowledge with providers in less-populated areas. The Department of Health and Human Services would be required to report to Congress on the results within two years.
Who does it affect?
Transgender people seeking care would be directly affected, along with the health care professionals and institutions that would receive training and funding.
Why does it matter?
Without enough trained providers, some patients may have difficulty finding care. These programs are intended to expand the pool of clinicians who can offer this type of treatment.
