This Senate bill would create a real-time online dashboard tracking doctor training positions across the United States. The dashboard would show where medical residents are applying, how many positions are filled, and whether doctors are ending up in rural and underserved communities. The goal is to help fix doctor shortages in areas that need care the most. The bill was introduced on October 23, 2025, and referred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.
Doctor shortages affect whether Houston-area residents, especially in underserved neighborhoods, can find care. This bill tracks where new doctors go, which could inform future policy decisions about local medical access.
