Private Practice Option Application
This PPO application initiates a request for a NHSC clinician to open their own private practice or one who is interested in working at an existing private practice. Just by submitting a PPO application does not allow a physician to be approved for the private practice option. Approvals of all PPO applications will be sent in writing from the In-Service Support Branch. In addition to filling out the PPO application, additional documentation will be required. See documentation requirements for private practice options.

Medical Spanish: Equipping Health Care Professionals to Serve Bilingual Communities

Many NHSC sites need staff who can serve bilingual communities. Medical Spanish training programs throughout the world offer a chance for immersion in a Spanish-speaking culture, learning the language through interaction. Many programs even include chances for clinical rotations conducted in Spanish, giving students the chance to practice classroom knowledge in nearby hospitals.

The opportunities available range from one week in California to six weeks in Costa Rica. Online courses are also available. For opportunities closer to home, colleges and universities are beginning to offer Medical Spanish, preparing medical professionals interested in practicing bilingual medicine. Most courses provide one-on-one instruction in the language and creative introductions to the culture.

More than 50 different opportunities are available in the U.S. and around the world.
