How do HPSA scores affect a practice sites personnel recruitment or funding?
A. HRSA administered placement programs, such as the NHSC/Scholarship and Loan Repayment Program, J1 Visa Waiver Program, and NHSC Ready Responders Program all require minimum scores for certain personnel placements. Additionally, higher HPSA scores are prioritized for continued funding, increasing the likelihood that the site can maintain its personnel through ongoing service commitments.
