The Song-Brown Healthcare Workforce Training Program provides grants to support registered nurse training programs in California.
Services should include:
- Establishing procedures to identify, recruit, and admit registered nurse trainees who possess characteristics which would suggest a predisposition to practice in areas of unmet need, and who express a commitment to serve in areas of unmet need
- Implementing counseling and placement programs to encourage training program graduates to enter practice in areas of unmet need
- Providing a preceptorship experience in an area of unmet need to enhance the potential of training program graduates to practice in such an area
Priority will be given to programs that have demonstrated success in the following areas:
- Graduating individuals who practice in medically underserved areas
- Enrolling members of underrepresented groups in medicine to the program
- Locating the program's main training site in a medically underserved area
- Operating a main training site at which the majority of the patients are Medi-Cal recipients
Eligible applicants are nurse education programs that are approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (Associate Degree of Nursing; Bachelor of Science, Nursing; and Entry-Level Master's pre-licensure registered nursing programs).
