About the Program
Idaho's State Loan Repayment Program pays up to $75,000 for primary care clinicians and up to $50,000 for dental and behavioral health clinicians who work two full-time years in a federally designated shortage area. The amount you get depends on your debt, your discipline and how much your employer matches, because the clinic has to match the money dollar for dollar. The clinic also has to offer sliding fees to low-income patients and take Medicare and Medicaid. The program is closed right now, and the state says the next round is expected in 2030.
