AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to provide for "assistant physicians" - individuals within three years of graduating from a medical school - to receive a limited, renewable medical license. The bill also establishes a pathway for these assistant physicians to obtain a full general practitioner license after completing additional requirements, including passing the United States medical licensing examination and completing 36 months of collaborative practice. The bill aims to increase the supply of healthcare providers, especially in underserved areas, by allowing these assistant physicians to practice under supervision before obtaining full licensure.
