Plain-English summary
Rural Health Training Incentive Act - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the Office of Rural Health Policy, to award grants to accredited schools of medicine or nursing for demonstration programs to encourage more health professionals to practice in rural areas. Makes grants available on a matching basis for three years to five schools.
Requires grants to address youth recruitment, training, and the expansion of the network of rural training tracks in the health professions. Earmarks one grant for a program for physicians in family medicine that includes a regional consortium of family medicine residency programs with a residency rural training program and one grant for nurses.
Gives priority to schools with on-site rural training residencies or rotations and rural recruitment and placement programs.
