Anybody familiar with the bureaucratic "mess" presented here below. its dated FEB 2009, something like paying 120 loan payments under a public health service job and afterward your loan is forgiven. would 120 payments mean one payment a month for 10 years?

also do physicians/residents fall under this description:

"Public health (including nurses, nurse practioners, nurses in a clinical setting, and full-time professionals engaged in health care practioner occupations and health care support occupations)"

This would mean 10 years in a public health service job and I believe yes to the latter, physicians are professionals.

There are other loan forgiveness opportunities. The National Health Service Corps forgives $50,000 for 2 years of service in a particular setting that they deem high need. That is strictly for general practitioners.

Nah, it's for FPs, IMs, Peds, Psych, and OB/Gyn. I think you have to find the job too, lol. It's really not that good of a deal.

Those are all considered "general practitioners".

Primary care you mean?

I wouldn't call psych "GP."

Check the financial aid forum, I think this question has been discussed there already.
