MSLRP helps employers recruit and retain primary medical, dental, and mental healthcare providers by providing loan repayment to those entering into MSLRP service obligations.  MSLRP service obligations require participants to provide full-time primary healthcare services in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) at not-for-profit health clinics for two years. MSLRP loan repayment agreements are funded by a federal/state/local partnership. Federal funds are awarded by the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).  State funds are appropriated by the Michigan Legislature, and local funds come from employer contributions toward their employees' loan repayment agreements.

• U.S. citizen
• Providers must be willing to provide full-time health care services in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) at a not-for-profit health clinic for two or more years.
• Employers must be willing to contribute 50% of the amount of their providers' loan repayment contracts. Employer contributions are used as required non-federal match for federal funds.

MSLRP has an on-going,first-come, first-served application period, which remains open until all federal funds are committed and matched with non-federal employer contributions
