The NHSC LRP is a loan repayment program administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The NHSC LRP recruits fully-trained health professionals to provide culturally competent, interdisciplinary primary health care services to underserved populations located in selected Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) identified by the HHS Secretary.
HPSAs can be found in rural and urban communities across the Nation. In return, the NHSC LRP assists clinicians in their repayment of qualifying educational loans that are still owed. Primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives, physician assistants, dentists, dental hygienists, and behavioral and mental health providers are eligible for up to $50,000 in loan repayments for the initial two-year service commitment and may be eligible to continue their loan repayment beyond two years if they have unpaid qualifying educational loans and continue to serve at an eligible site (up to $145,000).
