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.
