In conducting its study, the Department of Health Professions shall review existing state laws governing licensure, certification, and registration of health care providers, compare these requirements to similar Military Occupational Specialties in health care, and develop recommendations for statutory and regulatory changes to allow the Department of Health Professions to accept evidence of military training and experience as satisfying educational and experiential requirements for licensure, certification, or registration as a health care provider in cases in which such training and experience is not currently accepted as satisfying the educational and experiential requirement for licensure, certification, or registration. The Department of Health Professions shall also develop recommendations related to options for increasing awareness among veterans and citizens of the Commonwealth for submitting evidence of military training and experience to satisfy educational and experiential requirements for licensure or certification to practice the arts.
