prior to the spring semester 1975 shall be eligible for
participation in the cost-sharing program for internship and
residency training as established by Sections 697.1 through 697.8 of
this title, only if partial funding of said positions will allow the
creation of additional positions in whole or in part at the
participating hospital or clinical situation.  The participating

hospital or clinical situation shall document in a manner specified
by the Commission the extent to which funding of a previously
created and established position contributes directly to the
creation of additional positions at the participating hospital or
clinical situation.

Oklahoma Health Care Authority, to enter into contractual
arrangements with the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and

by the Health Care Workforce Training Commission for reimbursement
of intern and residency professional liability insurance costs.  All
monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated
and may be budgeted and expended by the Health Care Workforce
Training Commission for such costs.  Expenditures from the fund
shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against
