Medical Board Opens Applications to Program to Address Doctor Shortage | August 2, 2024 | News 19 at
SUMMARY: Alabama is facing a doctor shortage, affecting residents‘ ability to secure medical appointments. To address this, a new program, the Bridge Year Graduate Position Program, has been launched for medical school graduates who did not match into residency programs. This initiative, stemming from the Physician Workforce Act, aims to allow qualified doctors to practice medicine under the supervision of licensed physicians for up to two years. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners hopes this program will help retain talent, as doctors often settle in states where they complete their residency. Limited residency spots are influenced by federal funding.
A brand-new training program designed to combat Alabama’s doctors shortage has been launched.

Federal Reserve Cutting Interest Rates | September 18, 2024 | News 19 at 10 p.m.
SUMMARY: A student has been charged with making a terrorist threat. In notable economic news, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates by half a percentage point for the first time in four years. This decision could provide financial relief for citizens in North Alabama, although the benefits may take time to materialize. The rate cut aims to sustain economic strength and support progress on inflation, which has dropped from 9.1% in 2022 to 2.5%. Credit card users may experience immediate relief, while mortgage rates are also expected to decrease. The Fed will closely monitor inflation and unemployment in the coming months.
Americans could be finding more money in their pockets following the Federal Reserve’s announcement of lowering interest rates Wednesday.
