Directs the Secretary to make grants to States that have established State loan repayment programs to share the costs incurred by local communities and by the States in providing funds to full-time students in a program leading to a degree in medicine or osteopathy or licensure or certification as a nurse midwife, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. Requires each student to agree to serve at least two years (but not less than the number of years in which the applicant was provided assistance).
