Introduced by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and House Energy & Commerce Health Subcommittee Ranking Member Michael Burgess (R-TX) earlier this year, the EMPOWER for Health Act both reauthorizes and funds two important initiatives--the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) and the Geriatrics Academic Career Awards (GACAs)--under Title VII of the Public Health Service Act, the federal mechanism for supporting health professions education and training.
