PART IV. MEDICAL AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL
EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP AND LOAN PROGRAM
§1207.1. Scholarship and loan program
A. It is the intent of the legislature to ensure that there are an adequate number of health care providers who practice in the state in areas of medicine for which there are no associated medical educational programs offered in the state.
B. The Board of Regents is hereby authorized to develop and administer through the promulgation of rules and regulations, pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, the Medical and Allied Health Professional Education Scholarship and Loan Program for students who choose to pursue certain out-of-state medical education because similar medical education programs are not offered in the state. The Board of Regents shall provide for the qualifications of the students and for the medical education programs to be included in the program. The Board of Regents shall require that all recipients of scholarship or loan funds, pursuant to this program, agree in writing to return to the state to practice for a minimum of one and one-half years for each year the scholarship or loan is received and to maintain enrollment as a Medicaid provider during their service.
C. The Board of Regents is hereby authorized to enter into agreements with a public trust and public corporation duly organized pursuant to R.S. 9:2341 et seq., having for its beneficiary the state for the purpose of administering and providing for a loan program to provide low interest loans to students seeking medical education for which there are no associated medical educational programs offered in the state. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the public trust and public corporation duly organized pursuant to R.S. 9:2341 et seq., having for its beneficiary the state, may issue bonds, notes, or other obligations to the public and others for the purposes of this Part.
D. The Board of Regents may access state, federal, or grant funding made available to the Board of Regents for the purpose of fulfilling the scholarships offered in accordance with this Part.
