bridge year physicians can fill gaps in Idaho’s current healthcare provider workforce. This bill establishes
license length, eligibility, qualifications, permitted duties and supervision requirements.

offset any costs of administration required by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing
dedicated fund.
