Do you have a healthcare provider at your facility who is interested in loan repayment? Let them know that the 2012 National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program application cycle is open. The application cycle is open from December 13, 2012 to May 15, 2012.
Up to $60,000 for a 2-year commitment is available to your primary care healthcare providers (based on HPSA)!
NHSC provides loan repayment to fully trained primary care providers in exchange for a two-year full-time service obligation in an underserved community. After completing their initial years of service, loan repayors may apply for additional years of support! Eligible providers include primary care Family Physicians, Internists, OB/GYNs, Pediatricians, Dentists, Psychiatrists, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives, Dental Hygienists and licensed mental health professionals.
Many types of health care facilities are NHSC eligible sites including Critical Access Hospitals, Rural Health Clinics, Community Health Centers, and safety-net clinics.
