SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: COGME provides advice and recommendations to
the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Congress on policy,
program development, and other matters of significance regarding the
issues listed in section 762(a)(1) of the Public Health Service Act.
Issues addressed by COGME include the supply and distribution of the
physician workforce in the United States, including any projected
shortages or excesses; foreign medical school graduates; the nature and
financing of undergraduate and graduate medical education (GME);
appropriation levels for certain programs under Title VII of the Public
Health Service Act; and deficiencies in databases concerning the supply
and distribution of the physician workforce and postgraduate programs
for training physicians. COGME submits reports to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services; the Senate Committee on Health, Education,
Labor and Pensions; and the House of Representatives Committee on
Energy and Commerce. COGME encourages entities providing GME to conduct
activities to voluntarily achieve the recommendations of the Council
related to appropriate efforts to be carried out by hospitals, schools
of medicine, schools of osteopathic medicine, and accrediting bodies
with respect to the supply and distribution of physicians in the United
States; current and future shortages or excesses of physicians in
medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties; and issues
relating to foreign medical school graduates, including efforts for
changes in undergraduate and GME programs.
Since priorities dictate meeting times, be advised that start
times, end times, and agenda items are subject to change. For the
September 12, 2024, meeting, agenda items may include, but are not
limited to, discussions on team-based care, the Senate Finance
Committee's Medicare GME draft policy document, and the 2018 Government
Accountability Office's Report on Physician Workforce. Refer to the
COGME website listed above for all current and updated information
concerning the September meeting, including agendas and meeting
materials that will be posted 20 calendar days before the meeting.
