Not a bad option, but keep in mind you'll likely be working in a location that is less than desirable. Another thing to think about is overall compensation. If you do that program and get paid 130k/year, you'd be better off just finding a job that pays 200k/yr. Idk how common that is, but it was something an attending on here said to keep in mind at one point.

Yeah I think its great, though also a very easy way to owe some serious time to the government. What I have gathered is that the site that you end up at is your choosing as long as you start the job search a year before you graduate residency. I would love to live in a small town so picking a site, of which there are plenty to choose from on the NHSC jobs website, would be easy. What scares me is committing to primary care from day one. I'm all about practicing family medicine, but there are so many specialties I have no exposure to and I may find a totally different niche in medical school.
