Maryland HB595 alters the State income tax credit for physician preceptors in areas with health care workforce shortages.

Maryland HB595 modifies the eligibility criteria for a State income tax credit for licensed physicians who serve as preceptors in areas with health care workforce shortages. The bill repeals the requirement that students in a physician preceptorship program must be enrolled in a medical school or medical training program in the State and reduces the required number of hours for a preceptor rotation for community-based clinical training. The Maryland Department of Health will issue a credit certificate of $1,000 for each student rotation, up to a maximum of $100,000 per taxable year.
