This bill would let healthcare providers in the National Health Service Corps delay their required service for up to one year. This delay would allow them to get special training in palliative care. It would give the Secretary of Health and Human Services the power to approve these deferrals.
Today, healthcare providers in the National Health Service Corps cannot explicitly delay their required service to get training in palliative care. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would be able to approve deferrals of up to one year for these providers to pursue palliative care training.
