This bill authorizes grants and makes other changes to facilitate the practice of medicine by internationally trained physicians who are lawfully present in the United States and graduated from a medical school outside of the United States or Canada.

Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services may award grants for states and territories to

  • establish or expand programs that allow such physicians to practice medicine under the supervision of a licensed physician for a limited duration, as determined by the state, while they are completing required examinations; and
  • provide assistance (e.g., paying examination costs) for such physicians.

The bill also exempts under certain circumstances such physicians from the cap on full-time equivalent residents that is otherwise applicable for purposes of graduate medical education payments under Medicare.
