Description

The Ohio Physician Loan Repayment Program (OPLRP) is a program in which American primary care physicians agree to practice primary care medicine 40 hours per week in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) or former HPSA. They also agree to treat a percentage of Medicaid and Medicare patients equal to the percentage in their service area. In return, they receive up to $80,000 of medical school debt repaid ($20,000 over a four-year period).

OPLRP participants have an initial contract of two years of service, then a follow-up contract of either one two-year contract or two one-year contracts.

Participants must be primary care physicians in the following areas:

• Family Practice
• Internal Medicine
• Pediatrics
• OB/GYN
