The Colorado Health Foundation’s Physician Loan Repayment Program, developed with Colorado Community Health Network (CCHN) and the Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC), provides an incentive for physicians to practice in certain rural and urban underserved sites across Colorado.  The Physician Loan Repayment Program provides up to $50,000/year for three years for use in repaying the physician’s educational loans.  The physician must agree to practice at a qualified rural or urban underserved Colorado site for three years.

The program’s goals are to:

  • Improve access to health care in rural and urban underserved communities in Colorado
  • Recruit and retain Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/Gyn, and Pediatric physicians to rural and urban underserved communities in Colorado
  • Help attract qualified candidates to Colorado residency programs

A physician could receive up to $150,000 for repayment of educational loans over a 3-year period through this program.  With that incentive in hand, you still have about 6 months for the recruiting process before the March 20, 2009 application deadline arrives.  And, if a provider candidate is undecided, consider suggesting that s/he find out first if an award from this program will be forthcoming before making a commitment to join your practice.

DEADLINE – March 20, 2009
