- Description:
- The document discusses the Health Professions Loan Cancellation Program, which allows practitioners to have a portion of their Federal Health Professions Student Loan cancelled if they practice in a health manpower shortage area. It also mentions the Health Professions Loan Repayment Program, which replaced the cancellation program and allows for repayment of up to 85% of educational loans in exchange for service in a shortage area. Studies have shown that these programs have had limited success in attracting practitioners to underserved areas.
