The Health Care Bill
Hawaii expands tax credit for health care preceptors
Relating To Healthcare Preceptors.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let more health workers claim a state tax credit for teaching students, making it easier to become a preceptor.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
More preceptors could mean more training spots, helping Hawaii train the doctors and nurses it needs, while providers get a tax break now.
