A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and host a 1.5-day public workshop to consider ways to enhance broad patient access to care through strategic changes to GME, including collection and reporting of outcomes data, financial policy reforms, and evidence-based physician workforce planning.

With emphasis on primary care, the workshop will feature invited presentations and panel discussions on topics such as:

· Possible strategies to catalyze data-sharing and reporting around common GME outcomes metrics to aid in developing a physician workforce that meets the needs of the U.S. population

· Relevant lessons learned from state leaders who are leveraging significant GME investments to address physician shortages and maldistribution within their states, and

· Potential ways to catalyze consistent, evidence-based GME financing policy actions at the state and federal levels.

The planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings-in brief of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
