National Health Service Corps (NHSC)

The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) is a U.S. government program that aims to improve healthcare access in underserved areas. It recruits health professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and mental health providers, and offers them loan repayment or scholarships in exchange for committing to work in locations with limited healthcare services. By placing these professionals where they are most needed, the NHSC helps ensure that communities receive quality care, thereby addressing healthcare disparities and promoting public health across the country.
