AI Summary

This bill establishes a community health center Nurse Practitioner (NP) residency program to recruit and retain NPs at community health centers. The program will provide a 24-month post-graduate residency for recent NP graduates, where they will have supervised patient panels at community health centers. The goal is to encourage NPs to continue their careers in primary care or other fields at community health centers. The bill requires the Division to allocate at least $2.5 million annually to this program and seek federal Medicaid reimbursement for it as graduate medical education. The Division must also promulgate regulations to implement the program within six months of the bill's passage.
