Michigan House Bill 6292 establishes the Michigan Doctors in Underserved, Rural, and Systemic Equity Settings (MiDOCS) program within the state's Department of Health to address physician shortages in underserved communities. The bill requires the department to partner with medical schools to create at least one new primary care residency slot per school and to recruit physicians for these areas. In exchange for a two-year full-time service obligation in an assigned underserved community, the program provides participating physicians with loan repayment assistance paid annually upon completion of their service. Additionally, the legislation creates a dedicated state fund to finance the program and establishes an advisory commission composed of health sector representatives to guide its implementation and oversight.
