On August 5, Sens. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) introduced the Provider Training in Palliative Care Act. The legislation would allow National Health Service Corps members to defer their service for up to one year to train in palliative care, a training area that is not currently eligible for deferral purposes. The legislation would also directly incentivize young professionals to train in palliative care and increase the availability of palliative care in underserved areas. LeadingAge supports this bill.
