The issue with that is, the PSLF is geared towards didactic-only teaching professions (e.g. teaching high school and college) or human healthcare (MD/DO, RN, DNP, etc). Clinical professors are contributing to public education, but also perform diagnostic service to the university hospital. Therefore, our services provide money for the hospital (and as far as I know not all teaching hospitals are formally designated nonprofit - anyone know?) thus our employment is not technically "non profit" anymore. Also, I don't even know if veterinary medicine applies - it is directed towards healthcare practitioners.
This is who can qualify:
• Emergency management, • Military service, • Public safety, • Law enforcement, • Public interest law services, • Early childhood education (including licensed or regulated childcare, Head Start, and statefunded pre-kindergarten), • Public service for individuals with disabilities and the elderly, • Public health (including nurses, nurse practitioners, nurses in a clinical setting, and full-time professionals engaged in health care practitioner occupations and health care support occupations), • Public education, • Public library services, or • School library or other school-based services
I mean, maybe in a very small subset of jobs we would qualify....but I have personally never heard of a veterinary prof on PSLF, unless maybe they were teaching public health at a university level or something.....I could be wrong, but that's just been my exposure.
