National Health Service Corps

The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) is a program that encourages healthcare providers to work in underserved areas where there is a shortage of medical professionals. In exchange for their service, providers may receive scholarships or loan repayment assistance for their education. The goal is to improve access to quality healthcare in communities that need it most, including rural and low-income urban areas. By supporting health professionals in these regions, the NHSC helps ensure more people can get necessary medical care.
