The NHSC seeks addiction professionals who want to serve the nation's underserved rural, urban, and tribal communities. The SUD Workforce LPR offers eligible clinicians up to $75,000 in student loan repayment in exchange for a three-year commitment to provide SUD treatment services at NHSC-approved sites.

Approved sites are located across the U.S., in both urban and rural areas. Visit the Health Workforce Connector to see if your current employer is already approved which then makes you eligible to apply for loan repayment.
