AI Summary
This bill directs the Tennessee Commissioner of Health to conduct a comprehensive study focusing on creating new or improving existing career pathways for military noncommissioned officers with medical training to become primary care providers in the state. The study must explore several key areas, including identifying administrative barriers in current laws and regulations, recognizing military medical training as equivalent to state licensure requirements, developing career pathways for veterans in medical fields such as physicians, nurses, and physician assistants, and establishing methods to recruit military-trained medical professionals into Tennessee's primary care workforce. The commissioner is required to complete this study using existing departmental resources and must submit findings and recommendations to the state senate and house chief clerks, as well as the legislative librarian, by December 31, 2025. The bill aims to address potential challenges and opportunities for military veterans with medical training to more easily transition into primary care roles in Tennessee, ultimately supporting the state's healthcare workforce development.
