Primary Care Tips

- •Ask whether the site holds an active NHSC approval before negotiating
- •Clarify chronic-care program support: pharmacists, care managers, social work
- •Verify collaborative agreement requirements in this state
Why Primary Care?
A panel of your own patients, followed across years, is the core of primary care.
Primary care roles post across urban FQHCs, suburban groups, and rural health clinics alike.
Ask whether a site holds an active NHSC approval and whether the employer qualifies for PSLF. Both depend on the specific site.
