MisterBen Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm considering doing a 2 year commitment to the Indian Health Service once I graduate (May 2018) to get some help paying back my loans. Does anyone have any experience as a PA with the IHS or what it's like working on a reservation? I've heard mixed reviews but it seems like a great way to help an underserved population while getting help paying back my pile of student loan debt.

MisterBen Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 I ended up not applying. After looking in to it more, I think some other rural health opportunities might be better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted December 15, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2017 a good friend of mine just finished a stint doing trauma/critical care for the IHS in NM. said it was his best job ever, but didn't pay enough to be feasible long term.
