Bill overview
This bill aims to address a shortage of allied health professionals, such as medical assistants, dental hygienists, and respiratory therapists, by creating scholarship and loan repayment programs. The Department of Health and Human Services will establish these programs, requiring recipients to work in areas with a shortage of health professionals as a condition of receiving assistance. The bill also directs the government to identify specific allied health professions facing shortages and publish a list of these categories annually.
