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.
