This bill establishes a community health center nurse practitioner residency program in Massachusetts. The program will provide a 12-month post-graduate residency for newly certified nurse practitioners, allowing them to practice under the supervision and mentorship of a physician or advanced practice nurse at a community health center. The goal is to encourage these nurse practitioners to continue their careers in primary care or family medicine fields at community health centers. The bill also authorizes the state's Medicaid program, MassHealth, to provide funding and seek federal reimbursement for the residency program as graduate medical education.
