National Health Service Corps Announces a New Loan Repayment Program

April 26, 2010 By

The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Announces a New Loan Repayment Pilot Program for Part-Time Clinicians. This program joins the Full-Time Program in recruiting “fully-trained health professionals to provide culturally competent, interdisciplinary primary health services to underserved populations located in selected Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSAs) identified by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. HPSAs can be found in rural, frontier, and urban communities across the Nation.” In return, the Projects provide loan repayment assistance to clinicians for their qualifying educational debt.

For additional information on these loan repayment opportunities, visit http://nhsc.hrsa.gov/loanrepayment/.

Division 29 Early Career Mentoring is a feature on the website of the APA Division of Psychotherapy that provides a forum for asking questions broadly related to one’s early career. Through this interactive column, readers will have a safe place to pose questions anonymously, and to receive feedback from a more senior Division 29 “mentor.” Early career is a time of great excitement, but it can also pose many challenges and give rise to many questions. We suspect that if a question is on the mind of one early career psychologist, it is probably on the minds of others. Thus, we hope this column provides a useful and far-reaching service to our early career constituents. To this end, mentors will be assigned to field questions based on their specific expertise and experience, and the column will evolve into bank of queries and replies.

Before you apply for a scholarship, please spend a few minutes browsing the National Register website (www.NationalRegister.org) to learn more about the benefits of the Health Service Provider in Psychology credential, including:

  • Credentials Banking
  • License Mobility
  • Discounts on Professional Liability Insurance
  • Free Continuing Education*
  • Practice Profile on the FindaPsychologist.org Referral Website
  • Credentials Verification to Healthcare Organizations
  • Publications and Legal Updates
