To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to require public institutions of higher education that receive grants under the Medical Student Education program to include training for medical students relating to menopause in the curriculums of such institutions, and for other purposes.

Key claim: Public medical schools that take federal Medical Student Education grants would have to teach menopause in their student curriculum.

Abstract

(HR9273 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-11): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

The bill would use conditions on an existing HRSA medical-education grant to shape what public medical schools teach, a lever pattern (grant-conditioned curriculum mandates) that is relatively uncommon in federal medical education policy. For institutions, it would create a new compliance obligation tied to MSE funding; for students, it would expand required clinical exposure to menopause care, a topic frequently cited as under-taught in US medical curricula.
