The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 aims to tackle the critical shortage of resident physicians in the United States by increasing the number of residency positions available in hospitals. This legislation is essential for training new doctors and ensuring that the healthcare system can adequately meet the needs of the population. The act provides for an additional 2,000 residency positions each year from 2027 to 2033, with hospitals eligible to apply for these positions overseen by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
