Allied Health Opportunity Act
This bill amends two sections of the Public Health Service Act to expand opportunities in allied health careers. It removes a restriction requiring baccalaureate degrees for certain awards and adds new requirements for dual enrollment programs in high schools. Specifically, programs must provide career outreach about allied health fields (including salary info), training requirements, and academic/financial aid counseling to participating students. These changes directly affect high school students in partner districts, community colleges, and health career programs seeking industry-recognized credentials or associate degrees.
