Volunteer Recruitment
The National Health Service Corps (NHSC)- If your community is a HPSA, your clinic may be eligible to be a NHSC approved site where you recruit and retain qualified health care clinicians who care about under served people and choose to work where they are needed most. Federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and other sites that care for low-income and uninsured people can become NHSC - approved sites where dentists, dental hygienists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, physician assistants, and mental health professionals who are eligible for loan repayment funding or have received scholarships can fulfill their service obligation. These may be paid or volunteer positions. For more information visit The National Health Service Corps (NHSC).
