Purposes and Uses:
“Licensed primary care clinicians in eligible disciplines can receive loan repayment assistance through the NHSC Loan Repayment Program (NHSC LRP).
In exchange for loan repayment, you must serve at least two years of service at an NHSC-approved site in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA).
The purpose of the NHSC LRP is to recruit and retain medical, nursing, dental, and
behavioral/mental health clinicians in eligible communities of need designated as Health
Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). The information that applicants supply will be used to
evaluate their eligibility, qualifications and suitability for participating in the NHSC LRP. In
addition, information from other sources will be considered (e.g., credit bureau reports and
National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) reports).“
