Dear Colleagues:
As part of my role on the APA Committee on Aging (CONA), I serve as CONA monitor to the APA Committee on Rural Health. The Committee on Rural Health asks APA members to inform their graduate students and post docs about opportunities to reduce their educational loan debt by participating in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) federal loan repayment program. This program entails working in underserved health professional shortage areas. An article that describes the program and its application process is:
Hawley, G. (2005, Summer). Got loans? Understanding the National Health Service Corps loan repayment program. The Kansas Psychologist, 31(3), 1-2. (garyhawley@scmhcc.kscoxmail.com)
The NHSC web site is http://nhsc.bhpr.hrsa.gov and an application packet can be obtained by calling 1-800-221-9393.
Cordially, Rosemary Blieszner
