Reproductive Health Care Training Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, to create a grant and contract program for abortion care training. Health professions schools, academic health centers, and nonprofit safety net providers could receive funds to train students, residents, and advanced practice clinicians in states and territories where comprehensive abortion training is allowed. Funds could be used for clinical training, telehealth, partnerships, recruitment, instructor training, and scholarships or stipends, with a focus on medically underserved communities. Award recipients and the Secretary would file yearly reports that do not identify patients or providers. The bill authorizes $25 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
