## Summary

**Expand cross-state training capacity for sexual and reproductive health care.** This bill would create a new Health Resources and Services Administration grant program to fund graduate medical residency training in sexual and reproductive health, including abortion care, for clinicians who must leave their state because a covered State abortion law restricts in-state training. - Trainees and residents: Makes clinicians who are blocked by a covered State abortion law eligible for approved out-of-state residency training and reimburses travel and related expenses to complete that training. - Residency programs and hospitals: Funds grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements to establish, expand, or support approved graduate medical residency programs focused on sexual and reproductive health care. - Patients and communities: Aims to keep training pipelines open so clinicians continue to receive reproductive health training, including abortion care, when state rules limit in-state opportunities. *Would authorize $10.0 million per year in federal appropriations for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to carry out the program, increasing federal spending by that amount if appropriated.*
