The Legislature hereby finds and declares, as follows:

(a) There is an inadequate supply of physicians, family nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who provide primary care to individuals and families in low-income urban and rural areas of California.

(b) Current training for health professionals, which occurs almost exclusively in clinics and hospitals, rarely provides students with opportunities to provide community-based medical care to families in low-income neighborhoods. As a result, relatively few health professionals choose to practice in low-income neighborhoods after completion of their training.

(c) Most medical graduates are unprepared to deal with the complex interwoven social, cultural, economic, environmental, and educational aspects of disease prevention and health promotion. As a result, health professionals frequently have limited impact on the prevention or treatment of entrenched community health problems, including teen pregnancy, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

(d) Community-based education for health professionals has proven successful in other states, including Washington and Kentucky, in doing all of the following:

(1) Increasing the number of primary care health professionals practicing in low-income areas.

(2) Promoting the use of multi-disciplinary teams composed of health and human services professionals to jointly address community health problems.

(e) It is in the state’s best interest that California medical schools be encouraged to develop coursework and practice for community-based education as a part of professional training for physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. It is further in the state’s best interest that community-based education programs be evaluated to determine their effects on increasing the number of health care professionals practicing in low-income, medically underserved communities.

(b) The purpose of the program shall be to encourage the development of undergraduate medical and other health professional clerkships in primary care that combine health education, human services, and community involvement. The Legislature’s goal, through these clerkships, is to increase the number of medical students who choose to enter residencies in primary care and to increase the number of health professionals who practice in primary care in low-income communities and medically underserved areas after their training programs are completed.

(b) Opportunities for nurse practitioners and physician assistants that combine clinical experience with participation in multidisciplinary teams that include other health, education, and human services professionals charged with identifying and addressing community health problems.

(c) Opportunities for students to be exposed to a comprehensive array of primary care health services—curative and preventive medicine, health promotion, and rehabilitation.

(d) Opportunities that allow participants to serve as members of a multiservice health and human resource committee, or a comparable arrangement, that includes members from other public and private human services and educational agencies, for the purpose of offering integrated, comprehensive health, education, and human services to children and their families living in the community.

(e) Opportunities that place students in community or neighborhood primary care clinics in low-income communities, as determined by the university, or medically underserved areas, as determined by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, and that have a working relationship with an advisory board that is made up of representatives from the community being served.

(f) Community involvement in the design and operation of the clerkship program, based on the identification of community needs and resources.

(g) Culturally appropriate program governance, staff, and services.

(a) The program shall be considered successful if, after implementation of the program, all of the following occur:

(1) There is a 10 percent or greater increase in the rate of program graduates who choose to practice primary care over the average number of program graduates who chose to practice primary care during the previous five years.

(2) There is a decrease in the use of emergency room facilities for nonemergency procedures by persons served by the program from the use of emergency room facilities for nonemergency procedures during the previous five years.

(3) Families served by the program have received expanded health services without an increase in per capita health costs.

(b) Based on the evaluation of the program by the university pursuant to Section 92724, the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, in consultation with the California Healthcare Workforce Policy Commission, shall recommend to the Legislature on or before January 1, 1998, whether funding for the program should be expanded to include other medical schools.

(c) If the recommendation is made to expand the program pursuant to subdivision (b), it is the intent of the Legislature that the program be expanded to allow private medical schools and private schools of nursing to participate in the program in order to permit substantially all students who are training to become physicians and surgeons, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants to receive a portion of their training in a community-based education program.

(a) In April 2013, President Obama unveiled the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative — a collaborative program that will map the activity of every neuron in the human brain with a programmed total investment of more than three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) per year over 10 years.

(b) The BRAIN Initiative is launching with approximately one hundred ten million dollars ($110,000,000) in funding for research in 2014, as well as additional private sector investment from institutes and foundations based in California.

(c) California is poised to be a world leader in this research effort given the prominent role of scientists and industry leaders throughout the state.

(d) Four of the six scientists who proposed the BRAIN Initiative and six of the 15 members of the Advisory Committee to the Director of the National Institutes of Health for the BRAIN Initiative are from California.

(e) Some California-based corporations have indicated they are interested in collaborating with brain research institutions on research for the BRAIN Initiative to bring new discoveries to the marketplace.

(f) The BRAIN Initiative has the potential to be a major driver of new industries and jobs in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and information technologies, as well as a catalyst for major breakthroughs in brain-related diseases, injuries, and illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease, which is programmed to cost California over thirty billion dollars ($30,000,000,000) a year by 2030.

(g) The products of scientific research improve the quality of our lives and health and provide us with high-quality jobs that employ and demand a highly skilled workforce.

(h) Given California’s assets and capacity for collaboration, entrepreneurship, and innovation, a state investment to expand and accelerate this research in the state and to promote the translation of breakthroughs into the marketplace is an important investment in the intellectual infrastructure for California’s economic future.
