insufficient number of minority health professionals to meet the

distribution of professional health personnel resources.
It is the intent of the Legislature to maintain a Health
Professions Career Opportunity Program designed to:
(a) Increase the number of ethnic minorities in health professional training.
(b) Increase the number of minority health professionals practicing in health manpower shortage areas in this area.

Opportunity Program that shall include, but not be limited to, all of
the following:
