Title: VA Pilot Program on Graduate Medical Education and Residency
(PPGMER).
OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.

Abstract: Section 403 of the John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka,
and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening
Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-182)
mandated that VA create a pilot
[[Page 65853]]
program to establish additional graduate medical education (GME)
physician residency placement positions at certain covered facilities.
The pilot program will place no fewer than 100 resident physicians at
covered facilities (sites) operated by Indian tribe or tribal
organization (25 U.S.C. 5304), Indian Health Service, Federally-
Qualified Health Centers (42 U.S.C. 1396d(1)(2)(B)) and Department of
Defense. Participants in this pilot program are required by the statute
to collect and provide VA with programmatic data. VA is required to
include this information in an annual report to Congress until the
program terminates on August 7, 2031. The information will be collected
by the GME sponsoring institutions and the physician residents they
place in the participating covered facilities. The sponsors themselves
will determine the best method for collection of the necessary data
depending on their own resources and staffing. The information to be
collected will include required elements, such as number of patients
seen per day by each resident placed in a covered facility, for the
annual report on implementation of the pilot program submitted by VA to
Congress.
