Update from the National Health Service Corps!
Dear Colleague, This is an exciting time in history for advocates of primary care. As a part of health care reform, the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) is expanding and reaching out to better serve communities in need around the country. As you know, the NHSC supports primary care professionals by offering loan repayment awards in return for service in an underserved community. We are currently recruiting 4,000 new Corps members to receive loan repayment awards—more than ever before. This is an incredible opportunity for the interns, residents and other clinicians with whom you work or communicate, who want to make a difference in the lives of Americans who may not otherwise have access to basic health care. Primary care professionals who have completed their training are eligible to receive up to $145,000 in loan repayment for completing a five-year service commitment, with an initial award of $50,000 for two years of service. We have recently improved our application process, making it simpler and easier for interested clinicians to apply. We are asking you to spread the word to get more clinicians to visit www.nhsc.hrsa.gov and check out the program’s details and application instructions. New materials have been developed that help to outline the program’s eligibility requirements and the process to apply, which can be found at: http://nhsc.hrsa.gov/loanrepayment/apply.htm. (i.e. pdf files located under the “Next Steps” section to the right of the page.) Please also forward this email to, or share the new materials with, others who may be interested. Applications for the current cycle are being accepted through July 29, 2010. We value your support, and thank you for your help in recruiting dedicated clinicians to the Corps. Sincerely, Rebecca Spitzgo Associate Administrator, Bureau of Clinician Recruitment Services Director, National Health Service Corps HRSA
