Hello MFT Faculty Listserv members,
At the last MFT Licensing Board meeting, I mentioned the loan forgiveness program for underserved areas that includes LMFTs as potential recipients. I was asked to post the details to the listserv.
The U. S. Department of Health’s Bureau of Clinician Recruitment & Service has a mission of encouraging health care workers to move to underserved geographic areas of the U. S. to work in a variety of community healthcare settings. Two of their services can benefit people with LMFT or LPC licensing: a listing of available jobs in underserved areas and a student loan forgiveness program for professionals willing to work in an underserved area.For details, see the Bureau website at: http://www.hrsa.gov/bcrs
