About the Program
Idaho pays up to $100,000 over four years toward medical school debt for physicians who practice in a federally designated shortage area. Family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics are the main targets, and a few other specialties can qualify when the need is high. Physicians who paid into the program's fund get preference, but it isn't limited to them. Applications are taken each year from July 1 to August 30, so you'll have to wait for the next window.
