Applications for New Medicare-funded Positions Through Sections 126 and 4122 - February 12

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is hosting a webinar to review two opportunities for new Medicare-funded graduate medical education (GME) positions. These slots, available under Section 126 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) and Section 4122 of the CAA, 2023,  will award up to 200 FTEs each to qualifying hospitals, but there are differences between the distribution programs that stakeholders should know prior to submitting applications. This webinar will cover background information for the Section 126 and Section 4122 programs, updates to the distribution methodology for Section 126 slots, and key differences between Section 126 and Section 4122 programs. Applications are due to CMS by March 31, 2025, and awarded positions will be available starting July 1, 2026.
