AI Summary
This bill expands the Michigan essential health provider recruitment strategy to include midwives. Specifically, it:
1. Adds "midwife" as a defined term in the Public Health Code, meaning an individual licensed to engage in the practice of midwifery. It also adds "midwifery program" as an accredited program for training midwives.
2. Allows the Department of Health and Human Services to cooperate with associations representing midwives or certified nurse midwives to support the placement of midwives in health resource shortage areas.
3. Requires the Department to include an assessment of whether the maximum debt or expense repayment amount for the essential health provider repayment program should be adjusted to reflect changes in tuition costs for students enrolled in midwifery programs, in addition to medical, dental, nursing, and physician assistant programs.
The bill aims to expand the state's efforts to recruit and retain healthcare providers, including midwives, in underserved areas of Michigan.
