California loan repayment program boosts underserved care
The Medical Board of California launched AB 982 to fund loan repayment for recently licensed doctors serving in designated underserved areas for at least three years. Dr. Michael Komin received a $105,000 award for service at Aviation Medical in Shafter, part of a statewide effort funding 32 physicians with up to $105,000 each. The program, first of its kind funded by a state medical board, aims to expand access to care with future philanthropic support.
