MEDIC Careers Act of 2025
Veterans: Helping Military Medics Get Civilian Healthcare Jobs

Legislative Progress
This bill has support from both parties and addresses a popular issue, but most bills introduced in the Senate face a long road before becoming law.
Key Points
- The bill helps military medics turn their service experience into civilian jobs like nursing or medical assisting. It asks the government to find ways to make military training count toward state licenses so veterans do not have to start their education over from scratch.
- A new grant program would give up to $600,000 to clinics and nursing homes in rural or needy areas. These funds would help those facilities hire and train veterans who are leaving the military and looking for healthcare work.
- The plan focuses on fixing the SkillBridge program to make it easier for service members to start healthcare training before they officially leave the military. It also requires better information for veterans about how to get licensed in different states.
- Congress would provide $5 million every year through 2030 to pay for these grants and programs. This money is meant to fill job openings in places that struggle to find enough healthcare workers while helping veterans find good careers.
