What this bill does
S. 3038, the Health Care Workforce Real-Time Data Dashboard Act, would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Health Resources and Services Administration, to create and maintain a real-time online dashboard tracking graduate medical education (residency) training positions. The dashboard would include data on residency applications, match rates, interviews, applicant characteristics (in aggregate, de-identified form), position fulfillment rates by specialty and region, program completion rates, and trends in physician placement in rural and medically underserved areas. HHS would be required to collaborate with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other agencies, and to enter data-sharing agreements, including with sources tied to the Association of American Medical Colleges, while complying with federal privacy laws and safeguarding personal data.
The bill primarily affects federal health agencies, medical residency programs, and policymakers working on physician workforce shortages, particularly in rural and underserved communities. It would not directly regulate hospitals, medical schools, or individual physicians, but would generate data intended to inform future workforce planning and program evaluation.
The bill requires HHS to report to relevant Senate and House committees on the dashboard's implementation and findings within two years of enactment, and annually after that. It authorizes $1.5 million for fiscal year 2026. The bill was introduced in the Senate on October 23, 2025, by Senator Marsha Blackburn and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, where it awaits further action before any vote.
