About
the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program
The
National Health Service Corps is a competitive program that
recruits fully trained and licensed health professionals
to provide primary health services in NHSC community sites
in selected Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) identified
by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
In return, the NHSC LRP assists clinicians in their repayment
of qualifying educational loans that are still owed.
If
you are selected to participate in the NHSC LRP, you enter
into a contract with the U.S. Government. There are serious
consequences for breaching this contract. Please
read the entire Applicant Information Bulletin carefully
before deciding to apply to the NHSC LRP in 2008.
To
be eligible, you must be fully trained, licensed and working

an NHSC-eligible facility on the NHSC
Opportunities List.
