Establishes a one-year pilot program to subsidize licensing fees for new and out-of-state physicians in Hawaii.
The bill creates a pilot program to address Hawaii's physician shortage by subsidizing licensing fees for new and out-of-state physicians. The program aims to reduce the financial burden on physicians, especially those with student loan debt, by lowering the total licensing fees to no more than half of the usual amount. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs will manage the program, collaborating with the Department of Health and the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine.
