Health Care Professionals Offered Loan Repayments For Joining National Health Service Corps
Posted on: Friday, August 28, 2009
Obama’s stimulus bill has earmarked $200 Million for various health care professionals that spend two years at National Health Service Corps sites to repay their student loans. 3300 awards are being made to people who are working in underserved areas or that are treating the underinsured. This action is proof that the government is willing to stimulate the health care profession in rural and areas that are less desirable for physicians to live in. In order to qualify for the loan repayments, primary-care physicians, dentists, and mental health professionals have to commit to a service of two years with the Corps.
The new funds are supposed to stimulate the number of doctors. Proponents of the plan are hoping to swell the numbers of the Corps by 100% with the loan repayment offer.
If you are a physician just getting out of college or residency, you may want to consider joining the National Health Service Corps or moving to a rural area. There are often bonuses similar to the one being offered under the stimulus plan for doing so. Simply contact a physician recruiting agency or local health care organizations for more information, and of course sign up with the National Health Service Corps if you are interested in the loan repayment offer.
There are other benefits to living in rural areas, including a low cost of living. This will make it easy for you to save money towards a family or whatever future plans you may have. Add to that the low stress environment usually offered in a rural health care setting, and you have an idyllic work setting for the new physician.
