True, that's why I initially wanted to do this because you don't have to worry about the loan and you get a hell of a lot of practice on top of helping underserved populations. But my dentist kind of talked me out of it by saying "why work somewhere else when you can establish yourself here and open a practice after a few years" coming out of nhsc you will have to start over as an associate but in an area that you'd prefer to work and only then will you start establishing patients.It's much easier to take a lower salary and help underserved when you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to worry about repaying. And I'm pretty sure you yourself find a job at an approved site and if you can't find one, they place you.
