PCTEC Act

This bill would let the Secretary of Health and Human Services give grants to set up or expand primary care team education centers, where health professional students get clinical training in community-based primary care settings. Grants could last up to 5 years and be up to $1,000,000 per year. Grant money could be used to pay and recruit preceptors (clinical supervisors), add training curricula, and help students with housing or transportation near the training site. Groups that receive certain other teaching health center grants could not also receive these grants. The bill authorizes $10 million for fiscal year 2027, $25 million for 2028, $50 million for 2029, and such sums as necessary after that, and requires an annual report to Congress.
