Traineeship Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr) is announcing a change 
to its Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship (AENT) program. Effective 
fiscal year (FY) 2014, AENT support for part-time students (trainees) 
will be limited to those students (trainees) who are enrolled within 
the last 12 months of study for their program. This change will apply 
to new part-time students (trainees) and will not affect part-time 
students (trainees) funded prior to FY 2014, who will continue to be 
supported throughout their advanced education primary care training. 
Support for full-time students (trainees) will continue without any 
changes. This change is being implemented to support part-time students 
(trainees) nearing graduation, in an effort to expeditiously meet the 
growing demand for primary care nurse practitioners and nurse midwives.
