135.176 MEDICAL RESIDENCY TRAINING STATE MATCHING
GRANTS PROGRAM -- REPEAL.
1. The department shall establish a medical residency training
state matching grants program to provide matching state funding to
sponsors of accredited graduate medical education residency programs
in this state to establish, expand, or support medical residency
training programs. Funding for the program may be provided through
the health care workforce shortage fund or the medical residency
training account created in section 135.175. For the purposes of
this section, unless the context otherwise requires, "accredited"
means a graduate medical education program approved by the
accreditation council for graduate medical education or the American
osteopathic association. The grant funds may be used to support
medical residency programs through any of the following:
a. The establishment of new or alternative campus accredited
medical residency training programs. For the purposes of this
paragraph, "new or alternative campus accredited medical residency
training program" means a program that is accredited by a
recognized entity approved for such purpose by the accreditation
council for graduate medical education or the American osteopathic
association with the exception that a new medical residency training
program that, by reason of an insufficient period of operation is not
eligible for accreditation on or before the date of submission of an
application for a grant, may be deemed accredited if the
accreditation council for graduate medical education or the American
osteopathic association finds, after consultation with the
appropriate accreditation entity, that there is reasonable assurance
that the program will meet the accreditation standards of the entity
prior to the date of graduation of the initial class in the program.
b. The provision of new residency positions within existing
accredited medical residency or fellowship training programs.
c. The funding of residency positions which are in excess of
the federal residency cap. For the purposes of this paragraph, "in
excess of the federal residency cap" means a residency position for
which no federal Medicare funding is available because the residency
position is a position beyond the cap for residency positions
established by the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Pub. L. No.
105-33.
2. The department shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 17A to
provide for all of the following:
a. Eligibility requirements for and qualifications of a
sponsor of an accredited graduate medical education residency program
to receive a grant. The requirements and qualifications shall
include but are not limited to all of the following:
(1) Only a sponsor that establishes a dedicated fund to support a
residency program that meets the specifications of this section shall
be eligible to receive a matching grant. A sponsor funding residency
positions in excess of the federal residency cap, as defined in
subsection 1, paragraph "c", exclusive of funds provided under
the medical residency training state matching grants program
established in this section, is deemed to have satisfied this
requirement and shall be eligible for a matching grant equal to the
amount of funds expended for such residency positions, subject to the
limitation on the maximum award of grant funds specified in paragraph
"e".
(2) A sponsor shall demonstrate, through documented financial
information as prescribed by rule of the department, that funds have
been reserved and will be expended by the sponsor in the amount
required to provide matching funds for each residency proposed in the
request for state matching funds.
(3) A sponsor shall demonstrate, through objective evidence as
prescribed by rule of the department, a need for such residency
program in the state.
b. The application process for the grant.
c. Criteria for preference in awarding of the grants,
including preference in the residency specialty.
d. Determination of the amount of a grant. The total amount
of a grant awarded to a sponsor shall be limited to no more than
twenty-five percent of the amount that the sponsor has demonstrated
through documented financial information has been reserved and will
be expended by the sponsor for each residency sponsored for the
purpose of the residency program.
e. The maximum award of grant funds to a particular
individual sponsor per year. An individual sponsor shall not receive
more than twenty-five percent of the state matching funds available
each year to support the program. However, if less than ninety-five
percent of the available funds has been awarded in a given year, a
sponsor may receive more than twenty-five percent of the state
matching funds available if total funds awarded do not exceed
ninety-five percent of the available funds. If more than one sponsor
meets the requirements of this section and has established, expanded,
or supported a graduate medical residency training program, as
specified in subsection 1, in excess of the sponsor's twenty-five
percent maximum share of state matching funds, the state matching
funds shall be divided proportionately among such sponsors.
f. Use of the funds awarded. Funds may be used to pay the
costs of establishing, expanding, or supporting an accredited
graduate medical education program as specified in this section,
including but not limited to the costs associated with residency
stipends and physician faculty stipends.
3. This section is repealed June 30, 2014.
