State Loan Repayment Application Due Soon
Sep 15, 2011
Health Professional Loan Repayment Site Information
The 2012 Site Application is open from July 1, 2011, through September 23,
2011.
Due to suspension of the programs funding, only those sites that meet the
federal criteria may apply. To be eligible, the site must either be
located in a Federal Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) or have an
HPSA designation.
To find out if your site qualifies you can go to:
www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/ocrh/HPSA/hpsa1.htm
In addition to the site meeting the HPSA requirement, the site must also
have an implemented and posted Sliding Fee Discount Schedule. Previous
sites must apply each year to compete to be on the eligible site list. If
your organization has several clinics, each clinic must apply
individually.
The following information explains the process to apply to become an
eligible site:
A site interested in becoming eligible for loan repayment must submit an
online application.
You can apply for multiple professions.
You can apply for recruitment and/or retention of a current employee.
The online application deadline to submit is September 23, 2011.
Site applications are reviewed, scored, and ranked by profession.
Eligible sites are selected and posted with the online provider Loan
Repayment Application in January each year.
Site and profession(s) must be approved prior to the individual provider
being eligible to apply.
Both the site applications and provider applications are a competitive
process. Not all who apply will be approved or awarded.
The state Department of Health (DOH) oversees the site application
process. To access the online application, click here:
