New Jersey A4178 requires teaching hospitals to prioritize certain applicants for medical education programs.

New Jersey A4178 mandates that teaching hospitals accepting state funding for graduate medical education programs must prioritize applicants who are residents of the state or enrolled in good academic standing at an accredited state-supported medical school. This includes giving priority for placements in third and fourth year student clerkships and residency or fellowship programs. Failure to comply results in the reallocation of 20 percent of the hospital's Medicaid funding for graduate medical education programs.
