S 872
Massachusetts bill establishing nurse practitioner residency program for community health centers to expand primary care capacity in underserved areas.
S 872 establishes a nurse practitioner residency program specifically designed for community health centers in Massachusetts. The program would create structured training pathways for nurse practitioners to work in underserved communities, likely with state funding or support mechanisms to incentivize participation in community-based primary care settings.
Community health centers serve low-income and underinsured populations, and nurse practitioners are critical to expanding primary care capacity in these settings. A dedicated residency program could address healthcare workforce shortages in underserved areas while creating career pathways for nurse practitioners focused on community-based care rather than hospital settings.
