AI Summary
This bill establishes a community health center nurse practitioner residency program to recruit and retain nurse practitioners at community health centers in order to increase access to high-quality, community-based primary, preventative, and integrated care. The program will provide a 24-month post-graduate residency program for recent nursing school graduates, with nurse practitioners receiving supervised patient panels at community health centers. The bill requires participating nurse practitioners to commit to at least 18 months of employment at a community health center. The division must allocate at least $2.5 million annually to the program and seek federal Medicaid reimbursement for the program as graduate medical education. The division must also promulgate regulations to implement the program within six months of the bill's passage.
