Children's Hospitals GME provides freestanding children's hospitals with the same support for graduate medical education that all other teaching hospitals receive through Medicare--as my colleagues have said. In Iowa, we don't have freestanding children's hospitals-- instead our children's hospitals are part of larger systems or institutions. Yet I have heard from our hospitals and pediatricians about the workforce shortages they face and how important this program is in making sure the children of my State get the best care possible. For that reason, I join Senator Specter in our commitment to working toward a higher level of funding for this program.
