This grant, the Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program, is for addressing the significant disparity in federal GME funding for freestanding children’s teaching hospitals. Unlike full-service hospitals primarily serving adults, which receive substantial GME funding through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), children’s hospitals often receive minimal support due to their low Medicare patient caseloads. This program aims to rectify this imbalance, ensuring these vital institutions have adequate resources for graduate medical education. Administered by the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CHGME Payment Program is crucial for sustaining and developing the next generation of pediatric healthcare professionals.

| Agency Name: | Health Resources and Services Administration |
| Description: | The purpose of the Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program is to compensate for the disparity in the level of federal graduate medical education (GME) funding for freestanding children’s teaching hospitals versus other types of teaching hospitals. Federal funding for GME is primarily provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and goes to full-service teaching hospitals that serve primarily adult patients. Freestanding children’s hospitals receive little to no GME funding from Medicare because children’s hospitals have a low Medicare caseload. The CHGME Payment Program is administered by the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). |
