NHSC dentist salary ???

It’s not terribly managed, just not for everyone. There can be some difficulties with sites (and with communication every now and then in school), but that has more to do with some of the sites than it does the program. I tell every predental I talk to that they should at least look into it because if you can make it work, it is more than worth it.

Same. If I ever leave community dentistry, it would only be to enter academia. But I don’t find myself getting bored at all. I have plenty of excitement here. Lots of different procedures. I also precept for students at the dental school so that keeps things exciting as well.

I am in Colorado

Not currently where I am, but I know they are hiring at other places in the state. I actually just got an email from a recruiter last week where they were looking for a dentist. If you want, you can private message me and I’ll tell you the ones to avoid.

Another thing to consider...for loan repayment is the VA medical center,.
Starting salary is 217-220k. Total compensation is 310k. Pay raised every year 2-3%. Market pay review every 2 years.

Complete loan repayment after 10 years.
They also have internal local loan repayment IIRC 20-30k a year for 4 years.
