- Policy makers and workforce planners would get publicly available, aggregate dashboards and annual reports starting within 2 years to guide training and resource decisions. HHS would coordinate with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and use Association of American Medical Colleges data through data-sharing agreements.
- Residency programs and applicants would see program-level counts of applications, interviews, match and fulfillment rates, and geographic applicant patterns. All individual-level data must be de-identified and protected under federal privacy rules.
- Rural and medically underserved communities would get analysis of physician placement trends and program completion to help target federal efforts addressing shortages.
*Would authorize $1.5 million for fiscal year 2026 to carry out the dashboard.*

Real time residency data dashboard
If enacted, HHS would build and run a real-time online dashboard about medical residency training. It would show applications, interviews, match rates, filled positions, completion rates, and where graduates practice. The public would see aggregate, de-identified data online; non-public data would be limited to authorized staff. HHS would share data with CMS, the VA, and other agencies and follow federal privacy rules like HIPAA and the Privacy Act. HHS would report to two Congressional health committees within 2 years and then every year. The bill authorizes $1.5 million for fiscal year 2026 to support the dashboard, but Congress must still appropriate the money.
