 Introduced by M. of A. McDONALD -- read once and referred to the Commit-
   tee on Higher Education
 
 AN ACT to amend the education law and the state finance law, in relation
   to establishing the New York state preceptor stipend program
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
 the "New York state preceptor stipend program".
   §  2. Legislative intent. New York state health care is in crisis from
 staffing shortages  that  are  exacerbated  by  staff  burnout.  Quality
 preceptorships  are  an  essential  component  of  clinical professional
 development, and also a powerful tool for recruitment and  retention  in
 the  healthcare industry. By providing supervision during clinical prac-
 tice and facilitating the application of theory to practice for students
 and staff learners, preceptors can help promote self-awareness and crit-
 ical thinking for students. That confidence and on-the-job training will
 foster a healthy mentorship and encourage  future  health  care  profes-
 sionals  to  pursue  their  health career in New York state.  Preceptor-
 ships, however, are a time-consuming commitment and health care  workers
 in  New  York  state  are  hard-pressed  to  add more to their plates. A
 stipend program  would  incentivize  health  care  professionals  to  be
 preceptors  and  take  on  the  responsibility of training future health
 professionals.
   § 3. The education law is amended by adding a new  section  6505-f  to
 read as follows:
   §  6505-F. NEW YORK STATE PRECEPTOR STIPEND PROGRAM. 1. PROGRAM ESTAB-
 LISHED.  THE  CHIEF  ADMINISTRATIVE  OFFICER  OF  THE  OFFICE   OF   THE
 PROFESSIONS  SHALL  CREATE  A "NEW YORK STATE PRECEPTOR STIPEND PROGRAM"
 FOR PRECEPTOR CLINICIANS.  UNDER SUCH PROGRAM, A STIPEND SHALL BE ISSUED
 OUT OF FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE FOR SUCH PROGRAM PURSUANT  TO  APPROPRIATION
 FROM  THE  LEGISLATURE  FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PROFESSIONS ACCOUNT UNDER
 SECTION NINETY-SEVEN-NNN OF THE STATE FINANCE LAW, AND SHALL BE RELEASED
 IN CHECK FORM TO QUALIFIED PRECEPTOR CLINICIANS. THE  CHIEF  ADMINISTRA-
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD10517-05-4
