SECTION 1.  

The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:

(a) California’s supply of primary care physicians is below what
is considered sufficient to meet patient needs. In the rapidly
growing and ethnically diverse area of inland southern California,
the shortage is particularly severe, with just 40 primary care
physicians per 100,000 patients, far fewer than the recommended
range of 60 to 80 primary care physicians per 100,000 patients.
Furthermore, Latinos, African Americans, and Native Americans
are vastly underrepresented in the physician workforce.

(b) California lags substantially in the number of medical school
seats per capita, having just 17.3 seats per 100,000 persons,
compared to the United States average of 31.4 seats per 100,000
persons, according to statistics published by the Association of
American Medical Colleges.

(c) According to the California HealthCare Foundation, 72
percent of California’s 58 counties have an undersupply of primary
care physicians, with primary care physicians making up just 34
percent of California’s physician workforce.

(d) The University of California, Riverside, (UCR) has had a
longstanding two-year medical education program and its
independent four-year school of medicine has received preliminary
accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education,
the nationally recognized accrediting body for medical education
programs leading to M.D. degrees in the United States and Canada.
When this new four-year medical school opens in August 2013,
it will become the first new public medical school in California in
more than 40 years.

(e) This community-based medical school with a public mission
to expand and diversify the region’s physician workforce and to
improve the health of people living in inland southern California
has made a commitment to underserved patient populations.

(f) There are two principal determinants of where a physician
practices: (1) where he or she grew up, and (2) where he or she
completes residency training following medical school graduation.

(g) The UCR medical school has strategies to capitalize on both
of these factors. Among these strategies are all of the following:
(1) developing student pipeline programs that inspire more young
people in the region to pursue careers in medicine and other allied
health professions and to recruit them to the UCR medical school;
(2) utilizing a holistic review of medical school applicants that
takes into account diverse life experiences in addition to their
academic performance; (3) teaching a curriculum that emphasizes
key competencies for primary care medicine, including wellness
and prevention, evidence-based medicine, and chronic disease
management; (4) creating new residency training programs in
primary care and those short-supply specialties that are most
needed in inland southern California; and (5) continuing UCR’s
commitment to the recruitment, retention, and advancement of
talented students, faculty, and staff from historically excluded
populations who are currently underrepresented in medical
education and the practice of medicine.

(h) As a further incentive for medical students to choose primary
care specialties, the UCR medical school has developed an
innovative “loan-to-scholarship” program, is actively raising
nonstate funds to expand that program, and is educating students
and graduates about existing public and private physician
recruitment and retention programs, including, but not limited to,
the Steven M. Thompson Medical School Scholarship Program
established pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section
128560) of Chapter 5 of Part 3 of Division 107 of the Health and
Safety Code.

(i) The appropriation of state funding in the annual budget, and
consistent with Section 16 of Assembly Bill 94 of the 2013-14
Regular Session, to the UCR medical school will add more
physicians to underserved areas in inland southern California and
help California meet the objectives of the federal Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) in the short term
and the long term by expanding the physician workforce.

SEC. 2.  

The School of Medicine at the University of California,
Riverside, is requested to develop a program, consistent with its
mission, in conjunction with the health facilities of its medical
residency programs, to identify eligible medical residents and to
assist those medical residents to apply for physician retention
programs, including, but not limited to, the Steven M. Thompson
Medical School Scholarship Program, established pursuant to
Article 6 (commencing with Section 128560) of Chapter 5 of Part
3 of Division 107 of the Health and Safety Code.

SEC. 3.  

This act is an urgency statute necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within
the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into
immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:

In order to recruit and retain medical residents, who are vital to
the health care mission of the School of Medicine at the University
of California, Riverside, it is necessary that this act take effect
immediately.
