一个罗得岛立法委员会一致建议在罗得岛大学设立一所公立医学院,以解决初级保健提供者日益短缺的问题,理由是医生队伍老化和留校率低。 A Rhode Island legislative commission has unanimously recommended creating a public medical school at the University of Rhode Island to combat a worsening shortage of primary care providers, citing an aging physician workforce and low retention rates. 该计划以一项可行性研究为后盾,呼吁提供2 000万美元的国家投资,以便在2029年前启动MD方案,初始入学人数为50名学生,每年增至100人。 The plan, backed by a feasibility study, calls for a $20 million state investment to launch the MD program by 2029, with initial enrollment of 50 students expanding to 100 annually. 该学校旨在改善获得护理的机会,促进地方培训,并产生重大经济影响。 The school aims to improve access to care, boost local training, and generate significant economic impact. 该委员会还提议扩大偿还贷款方案,设立奖学金,并成立一个常设监督小组,支持长期留住劳动力。 The commission also proposed expanding loan repayment programs, creating scholarships, and forming a permanent oversight panel to support long-term workforce retention.
