Sec. 295m. Prohibition against discrimination on basis of sex

    The Secretary may not make a grant, loan guarantee, or interest 
subsidy payment under this subchapter to, or for the benefit of, any 
school of medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary 
medicine, optometry, pharmacy, podiatric medicine, or public health or 
any training center for allied health personnel, or graduate program in 
clinical psychology, unless the application for the grant, loan 
guarantee, or interest subsidy payment contains assurances satisfactory 
to the Secretary that the school or training center will not 
discriminate on the basis of sex in the admission of individuals to its 
training programs. The Secretary may not enter into a contract under 
this subchapter with any such school or training center unless the 
school, training center, or graduate program furnishes assurances 
satisfactory to the Secretary that it will not discriminate on the basis 
of sex in the admission of individuals to its training programs. In the 
case of a school of medicine which--
        (1) on October 13, 1992, is in the process of changing its 
    status as an institution which admits only female students to that 
    of an institution which admits students without regard to their sex, 
    and
        (2) is carrying out such change in accordance with a plan 
    approved by the Secretary,

the provisions of the preceding sentences of this section shall apply 
only with respect to a grant, contract, loan guarantee, or interest 
subsidy to, or for the benefit of such a school for a fiscal year 
beginning after June 30, 1979.
