Article Abstract
The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) aims to foster a positive service experience for its clinicians to promote long-term retention. We assess the satisfaction of primary care, dental, and mental health clinicians in the NHSC's Loan Repayment Program (LRP). Survey data are from 1,193 clinicians (72.4% response) who completed NHSC LRP contracts in 16 states from July 2015 through December 2016. Eighty-one percent reported overall satisfaction with their work and practice, without differences across disciplines. Nearly 95% were satisfied with the mission and patients of their practices. Fewer clinicians were satisfied with compensation (51%) and time demands of work (36%). Ninety-four percent reported the NHSC experience met or exceeded their expectations, and 94% recommend the NHSC LRP to others. In summary, the NHSC LRP experience is generally positive for clinicians of all disciplines. Clinicians' issues with their incomes and with the time demands of their work deserve attention from the NHSC.
