Hey AMSA!!
The National Health Service Corps, a program that provides scholarships and loan repayments for health professionals to practices in federally-designated underserved areas will sunset on September 30 of this year. There is a bill in Congress, HR 2915, that will reauthorize the program and DOUBLE the available funding. It will also create a 10% carve out for medical students and young physicians so that for this carve out, MD- and DO-to-be 's will not have to compete with other health professionals.
Click on This Link ( http://www.capwiz.com/ams/issues/alert/?alertid=10320931) and Send your Congressperson an Email TODAY!!!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours,
Flávio Casoy
