About LRP
The Indian Health Service Loan Repayment Program (IHSLRP) offers health care professionals the opportunity to lighten qualified student loan debts and help IHS meet the staffing needs of Indian health programs. It is open to health professionals who will commit to working in health facilities serving American Indians and Alaska Natives for a minimum two-year service obligation.
Opportunities are based on staffing needs and availability of funds. IHS has created a ranking system to distribute LRP awards with the utmost fairness. The goal of the program is to fill staff vacancies in Indian health programs, so the ranking system gives highest consideration to program staffing needs and shortages in specific health profession disciplines. Once the need is assessed, each site is ranked according to the need. View the current priority list (PDF - 282KB).
