Summary

The bill lets licensed physicians claim a state income‑tax credit for serving as unpaid preceptors to medical students in designated health‑care workforce shortage zones. It removes the requirement that the student be enrolled in a Maryland medical school or training program and cuts the minimum community‑based training hours from 100 to 90 per rotation. The credit is capped at $10,000 per physician per year and the department can issue up to $100,000 in certificates each year.
