AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a Community Health Center Nurse Practitioner residency program in Massachusetts. The program will provide a 24-month post-graduate residency for recent nursing graduates at community health centers, where they will receive supervision and mentorship from physicians or advanced practice nurses. The goal is to recruit and retain nurse practitioners to increase access to high-quality, community-based primary and preventative care. The bill requires the state's Division of Medical Assistance to allocate at least $2.5 million annually to the program and seek federal Medicaid reimbursement as graduate medical education. The division is also directed to promulgate regulations to implement the program within six months of the bill's passage.
