The revised deadline to apply to the Minnesota Urban Physician Loan Forgiveness Program is January 31, 2011. Complete information is online or contact Amy Vallery at 651-201-3870 or amy.vallery@state.mn.us.
The Urban Physician Loan Forgiveness Program provides funds for repayment of qualified educational loans for primary care physicians. Participants must plan to practice for at least 30 hours per week, for at least 45 weeks per year, for a minimum of three years in an underserved urban community.
An underserved urban community in Minneapolis or St. Paul is in designated primary medical care health professional shortage areas (HPSAs), medically underserved areas (MUAs), or with medically underserved populations (MUPs). Use the HRSA website to be sure a clinic is in one of these designations.
