AR HB1932

Reduces physician members on the Graduate Medical Education Residency Expansion Board from two (2) to one (1) member appointed by the Arkansas State Medical Board.

Establishes a single term of three (3) years for all board members.

Expands eligibility for one-time planning grants to entities "in the process of creating" a graduate medical education program, in addition to those with existing programs eligible for Medicare funding expansion.

Allows the board to prioritize up to fifty percent (50%) of funded first-year residency positions for primary care or fields where Arkansas has less than 80% of the national average of physicians per 100,000 people.

Prohibits the board from reducing planning grant amounts per resident position but permits proportionate reduction of the number of positions funded for each graduate medical education program when funding is limited.
