Loan Repayment

Loan Repayment Opportunity for Ohio Primary Care Physicians

The Ohio Department of Health has a loan repayment program available to primary care physicians working within the state. Primary care includes family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology and psychiatry.  The goal of the loan repayment program is to provide financial assistance to those providers wanting to work in underserved areas so all Ohioans, regardless of ability to pay, have access to basic primary care services. 

Eligible applicants to the Ohio Physician Loan Repayment Program (OPLRP) are those primary care physicians who have a license to practice in Ohio and are interested in working with underserved populations. Physicians in the final year of residency can also apply.  Practice locations must be in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) or former HPSA. 

The OPLRP can provide up to $20,000 per year in loan repayment. The initial contract, for those selected to receive loan repayment, is two years. The agreement can be extended for two additional one-year contracts, thus making the total loan repayment up to $80,000. 

Contracts are usually awarded in the summer. Applications are due the preceding January 15th. 

For more information about this program, send an email to geri.rousculp@odh.ohio.gov, or call 614-644-8496.
