Creates grants to help internationally educated health workers serve U.S. communities.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to support health care professionals who were educated in other countries. These grants would help them get the training, licensing, and other support needed to work in the U.S. health care system. The goal is to fill health care worker shortages, especially in rural areas and communities that need more medical staff.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to help internationally educated health care professionals integrate into the U.S. workforce. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Health and Human Services could award grants to organizations. These grants would provide career support, training, and other assistance to these professionals. Grants could start as early as one year after the bill becomes law.
