Description
The Michigan State Loan Repayment Program is a state medical education debt repayment program focused on assisting employers in the recruitment and retention of medical, dental, and mental healthcare providers. The employers must be committed to building a long-term primary care practice in an underserved community (HPSA). Providers in the program receive funds to repay their educational debt, in exchange for a 2-year full-time service obligation.
