House Bill 2295, also known as Senate Bill 2667, proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning health care. The bill mandates that by January 1, 2027, the Department of Health must submit a report evaluating the feasibility of establishing a graduate physician licensure program. This program would enable individuals who have graduated from an allopathic medical school and passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination, but have not completed an accredited postgraduate residency, to provide medical services. However, these services would need to be delivered under a continuous collaboration and supervision agreement with a licensed physician.

The bill aims to address the need for more flexible pathways for medical graduates to enter the healthcare workforce while ensuring that they operate under the guidance of experienced physicians. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the public welfare in this matter.
