AI Summary
This bill aims to extend collective bargaining rights to resident and fellow physicians employed by medical schools operated by institutions of higher education in Washington state. It establishes an interest arbitration process for these collective bargaining negotiations, which must consider factors like the financial ability of the institution to pay, comparison of working conditions with similar public hospital programs, and the importance of recruiting a diverse pool of resident and fellow physicians. The bill also requires that negotiations be scheduled to minimize conflicts with the working hours of the resident and fellow physician representatives.
