The resolution proposes an interim study aimed at examining the regulatory restrictions and opportunities within medical education to enhance the medical workforce in rural and underserved areas of Nebraska. The study will focus on several key areas, including the impact of regulatory frameworks on the training and retention of medical professionals, the analysis of accreditation standards and licensure processes, and the identification of barriers that hinder medical professionals from practicing in these communities. Additionally, it will explore potential policy options such as educational incentives and financial supports to improve access to medical education and healthcare services.

The Health and Human Services Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is designated to conduct this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, with the goal of identifying legislative solutions that can enhance the pipeline of healthcare providers serving Nebraska's rural and underserved populations.
