Beta

This bill would create a new state program to help pay off medical school loans for eligible students who agree to practice medicine in Kentucky for at least 10 years. Awards would be managed by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority, and doctors who do not complete their required service would have to repay the funds. Failing to meet repayment obligations could put a physician's medical license at risk. Who it may affect: medical students, new physicians, and Kentuckians in communities that rely on local doctors.
