The bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services, after consulting the Labor and Education Secretaries, to award grants within one year of enactment to eligible consortia supporting internationally educated health care professionals. Grants could fund system- and individual-level support, including licensing, education, career counseling, clinical training, and supportive services; recipients could use no more than 10 percent for administration and would have to use at least 20 percent for system-level projects. The bill would authorize such sums as necessary for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
