I’ve been in academic medicine for 45 years. This is the first time I’m seeing a perfect storm, as proposed federal funding cuts threaten our ability to provide patient care, train the next generation of doctors, and conduct life-saving research. More from CNN last week.

Grad PLUS and PSLF are more than financial programs — they are investments in the nation’s health. In supporting the next generation of physicians, we’re also supporting the patients, families, and communities who will depend on them. ow.ly/lmim50W9gjP

“Maybe it’s one [cancer] diagnosis, but they wait six months because they don’t have health coverage and they don’t have the money…they feel they would go into debt.” AAMC’s Len Marquez explains why Medicaid cuts could be deadly for so many Americans. ow.ly/u6UM50WbRlK

Our teaching hospitals and health systems rely on stable Medicaid support to care for vulnerable patients. We strongly urge the House to reject harmful cuts in the reconciliation bill that threaten care and the communities who depend on it. aamc.org/news/press-rel…
