Summary

Rural Health Care Provider Recruitment and Education Act of 1990 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a demonstration program known as the Rural Health Care Provider Recruitment and Education Program to assist rural communities in recruiting and educating eligible students to serve as health care providers. Directs the Secretary to make grants to States to share the costs incurred by local communities 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 between two and four years (but not less than the number of years in which the applicant was provided assistance). Requires that grant funds provided to States be used for 25 to 50 percent of the costs of the education. Requires students receiving assistance to serve in the rural community represented by the local community that provided assistance. Authorizes appropriations.
