Bill overview
The Rural Veterans Act aims to improve the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals in rural Veterans Affairs (VA) clinics and medical centers. It establishes an Office of Rural Recruitment within the VA to assess hiring needs, develop recruitment strategies, and explore incentive programs. The bill also creates a fellowship program to support graduate and post-graduate healthcare professionals who provide services in rural areas and conduct research on improving rural healthcare access and quality. Finally, it requires Veterans Integrated Service Networks with rural clinics to develop and maintain their own recruitment strategies.
