Bill Summary

For reimbursement for costs of the learning contract

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 75 of the General Laws to require students admitted to the University of Massachusetts Medical School starting in 2015 and each year thereafter to enter into a "learning contract" that obligates them to provide at least 4 years of service in primary care, public/community service, or underserved areas within Massachusetts. The Commonwealth will bear the cost of these learning contracts. If a student does not fulfill the service requirement, they must repay the difference between the tuition actually paid and the regular tuition amount, plus 8% interest, with the medical school remitting the repayment proceeds to the Commonwealth. The Chancellor must also provide an annual report on the learning contracts to the legislature.
