NHSC Experience

[futurePA2026]

Hello,

I am an applicant for the NHSC PA scholarship and I just received notice that my application has the chance to move forward in the process. I am very interested in signing the contract but I have some concerns regarding obtaining a job in an urban area in the future. Can someone who has been accepted to the NHSC scholarship and has worked in an NHSC-approved clinic speak a little bit about their experience? Were the job positions available limited or was it fairly easy to secure a job? Did you feel overworked at your job, or was it like a typical primary care clinic? While in school, how do tuition payments by NHSC work? Any insight would be much much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
