Creates a program to help foreign-trained health workers get jobs in U.S. healthcare.
This bill would create a new federal grant program. It aims to help foreign-trained health workers who are authorized to work in the U.S. get licensed and find jobs in the U.S. healthcare system. The program would fund groups that offer career support, especially in communities needing more health workers or in rural areas.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program under the Public Health Service Act to help foreign-trained health care professionals get jobs in the U.S. healthcare system. If this bill passes, the government would create a new grant program. This program would fund organizations that offer career support, licensing help, and other services to these professionals. It would prioritize communities with health care shortages and rural areas.
