The National Health Service Crops (NHSC), administered by an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, assists medically underserved communities to recruit and retain primary care clinicians, including dental and mental and behavioral health professionals, to serve in their community.
In 2002, Congress approved ACC- and ACA-backed legislation establishing a special pilot program to assess the impact of making chiropractic care more available in communities served by the National Health Service Corps. Click on the links below for additional information.
Please note that the NHSC student loan reimbursement program is a two-year demonstration that began in October 2005 and will end in October 2007. No further applications are being accepted by NHSC for any further demonstrations programs at this time.
