LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAMS

​

There are several opportunities for loan repayment of certain healthcare professions through the Health Resource Services Administration (HRSA) and the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS).  Providers would need to be employed with specific agencies such as Federally Qualified Health Centers, Safety Net Hospitals, or communities with certain MUA or HPSA scores (Medically Underserved Areas or Health Professions Shortage Areas).  You can use these tools to see what sites and counties are eligible:
