More than 140 members of the U.S. House of Representatives wrote a letter to members of the House's Committee on Appropriations urging them to protect funding for the Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education program, according to an AHA News Now report.
The letter urged the committee to appropriate $265 million in funding for the program, exceeding the $88million allotted in President Obama's 2013 budget. The letter called the amount "woefully inadequate" and said it "threatens[s] the pediatric workforce pipeline."
