In the header to this informational page, I listed that you would have great colleagues. I cannot stress enough what high quality individuals we have in that sector. I think the most difficult thing for any Physician to deal with is difficult or low performing colleagues. You would never have that concern here. State Level Programs
• REGENT PHYSICIAN PROGRAM is for Primary Care Providers. The provider can apply up to 4 years for 10k each year. The setting on this does not matter. They may work in OP or IP.
• DANY PROGRAM (Doctors Across NY) applies to any specialty or PCP which is in short supply. This provides as much as 120K for a one time 3 year commitment and is tax free.
• PHYSICIAN PRACTICE SUPPORT PROGRAM makes 100k available to either the Practice (hospital) or the Physician to support a new practice. Should the hospital use the
funds, the Physician may apply after 2 years.
• US PRIMARY CARE SERVICE CORP is for APP and mental health providers. Provides 30k a year for up to 5 years. The provider, however, has to do 50% practice in Mental Health and be able to provide documentation. The benefit to support Licensed Social Worker training is being fleshed out. This one would be competitive.
National Level Programs
• NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE CORP provides 50K tax free for a 2 year commitment, 20k for another year per year up to 16 years or up to 370K or when the loan is
repayed.
• The site must have a site certification (we do, except for our newest 3 and we are working on that). This benefit is for Physician and NP.
• NURSING CORP provides funds for nurses going back to school, makes scholarships available.
