SF 3408 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Health professional education loan forgiveness program physician and medical resident eligibility modifications

This bill amends Minnesota's Health Professional Education Loan Forgiveness Program to clarify eligibility for physicians and medical residents. It specifically defines "medical resident" to include those in family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, or emergency medicine, and defines "physician" to cover these same specialties. The change directly affects doctors and medical trainees seeking loan forgiveness by ensuring only those working in these designated specialties qualify. It does not alter the program's funding or application process, only refining who meets the eligibility criteria.
