Highlights

The Comprehensive Health Manpower Act of 1971 authorized institutional assistance in the form of formula grants, called capitation grants, based on statutorily established amounts per student per year and a bonus for enrollment of first-year students beyond mandated levels. Subject to the availability of appropriations, medical schools were authorized to receive $2,500 for each enrolled first-year, second-year, and third-year student, and $4,000 for each graduating student.
