VOTE “YES” on
SB 1095 and SB 1313
SB 1095
by Sen. Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio) is a bill to conduct a study
regarding the need for increased GME programs based on our State’s
population growth and health care workforce trends. Texas has a
shortage of physicians and graduate medical education slots to train
physicians. The shortage of GME slots guarantees that Texas medical
students will continue to leave the state upon graduation. SB 1095 is
a major step towards remedying the shortage of physicians.
SB 1313
also by Sen. Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio) creates a “Report Card” for
all health profession boards. Currently, there are no uniform
reporting requirements for our State’s health profession boards, which
prevents the legislature from assessing and comparing the boards’
licensing and disciplinary actions.
Senate bills 1095 and
1313 will be heard in the House
Public Health Committee on Wednesday May 16, 2007.
Contact all members of the House Public
Health Committee, and ask them to VOTE
FOR SB 1095 and SB 1313.
