CMS Accepting Applications for New Physician Residency Slots – Apply by March 31
Federal legislation under Section 126 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, authorizes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to distribute additional residency positions (also known as slots) for physicians training in underserved areas.
Eligible hospitals must use MEARIS, CMS’s online application system to apply by March 31 for 200 newly available slots.
In a one-hour webinar on Wednesday, January 17, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern, experts will provide background information on Section 126. The session is hosted by RuralGME.org, the FORHP supported organization that helps hospitals plan and develop rural residencies and will focus on considerations for rural hospitals.
