Bill > HR8019

This bill, the Professional's Access To Health Workforce Integration Act of 2022, aims to address the nationwide shortage of health professionals by authorizing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities. These grants would be used to assist unemployed and underemployed skilled immigrants who are internationally educated health professionals to enter and advance in the American health workforce. The bill also provides for training opportunities to reduce barriers to entry and advancement, educating employers about the abilities of these professionals, assisting in the evaluation of foreign credentials, and facilitating access to English language courses. The goal is to leverage the skills and expertise of these immigrants to help meet the growing demand for health workers in the United States.
