Reframing the future of health care for underserved Floridians

Posted in Latest News on February 1, 2024.

The goal of the Florida Reimbursement Assistance for Medical Education (FRAMEdental) program is to improve dental care accessibility by financially supporting dentists and dental hygienists who provide services to medically underserved populations in qualified areas experiencing dental health professional shortages. The FRAMEdental program provides annual payments to offset loans and educational expenses for studies leading to dental degrees and licensure.

On March 21, 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis signed components of the 2024 ‘Live Healthy’ legislation package, which bolsters Florida’s health care workforce, broadens access to quality health care, and fosters innovation in the industry. This package included Senate Bill 7016, which creates and expands training programs that will help to develop and retain Florida’s health care workforce in order to meet the needs of our growing state.

Specific to the FRAME programs, this legislation expands eligibility for the programs, establishes limits for program participation and awards, and sets forth new volunteer service requirements for program participation. Applicants will need to provide at least 25 hours annually of volunteer dental services in a free clinic as specified in s. 766.1115(3)(d)14, through a volunteer program operated by a state department or agency pursuant to  Part IV of Chapter 110, Florida Statutes, or a pro bono program approved by the Board of Dentistry.

Volunteer hours are calculated from April 1 of the previous calendar year through March 31 of the current calendar year.  To meet this eligibility requirement, the volunteer hours will be verified via the Florida Reimbursement Assistance for Medical Education (FRAME) Volunteer Hours Verification Form

The 2025 FRAME application cycle will start accepting applications on February 1 through March 31, 2025.
