Posts - Bill - S 632 IHS Workforce Parity Act of 2025
senate 02/19/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make it possible for Indian Health Service scholarship and loan recipients to fulfill their service obligations through half-time clinical practice, giving them more flexibility while still supporting critical health care needs in Indian communities. This change aims to strengthen the healthcare workforce serving these communities without reducing commitment.
