Betsy Russell reports that among the state agency budgets being set this morning are some smaller ones, including the Health Education Programs division, which includes programs that send Idaho students to medical school, dental school, optometry and veterinary school in other states since Idaho lacks those schools, and residency programs to train newly graduated doctors in Idaho, in hopes of attracting them to practice here. On a unanimous, 17-0 vote, JFAC approved the governor’s recommendation for the programs, which reflects a 1.2 percent increase in state general funds, 2 percent in total funds; the program’s funding remains well below the 2011 level.
