AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Medical Board (OMB) to conduct a comprehensive study examining the potential advantages and disadvantages of issuing medical licenses to physicians and physician associates (PAs) who have received their professional training outside of the United States. The board is required to prepare and submit a detailed report, which may include legislative recommendations, to the legislative assembly's health care interim committees by September 15, 2026. The study is intended to provide insights into the feasibility and implications of licensing international medical graduates, potentially addressing healthcare workforce needs or identifying potential challenges in recognizing foreign medical training. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, ensuring that the research is conducted within a specific timeframe and does not become a permanent ongoing requirement.
