H.R. 9605 — Less Bureaucracy, Better Foreign Medical Accreditation Act

Transparency & Ethics

What it does

This bill transfers oversight of foreign medical school accreditation from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services. The National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA)—which currently operates under Education—will move to HHS, along with its staff, budget, and existing approvals. The stated goal is to streamline bureaucracy by consolidating medical-education oversight under the health agency.
