RE: RIN 2900–AR01—VA Pilot Program on Graduate Medical Education and Residency

Dear Secretary McDonough and Deputy Chief Greenberg:

The Alliance of Specialty Medicine (the “Alliance”) represents more than 100,000 specialty physicians and is deeply committed to improving access to specialty medical care through the advancement of sound health policy. Today, we write to share feedback in response to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2022, regarding the VA Pilot Program on Graduate Medical Education and Residency (PPGMER) and implementing provisions of the VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018 (MISSION Act) (Pub.L. 115-182).
