Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide grants to help internationally trained doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers get the credentials and support they need to work in the United States. This program aims to address healthcare worker shortages by making it easier for skilled foreign-trained professionals to enter the American healthcare system. The grants would cover things like licensing exams, credential verification, and career guidance services.
