ACPM submits testimony to Senate health subcommittee

ACPM has submitted congressional testimony to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education requesting an increase of approximately $10 million for preventive medicine residency training programs in FY 2014 funding. In separate testimony, ACPM requested $25 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). Current funding is $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the two programs. Proposed FY 2014 funding levels will not be announced until the full Senate Appropriations Committee meets to consider the FY 2014 Labor, Health and Human Services and Education appropriations bill this summer.
