The Minnesota Rural Physician Loan Forgiveness Program offers loan repayment assistance to primary care physicians who agree to practice in a designated rural area of Minnesota.
A designated rural area is defined as a city or township that is outside the 7-county Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area, excluding the cities of Duluth, Mankato, Moorhead, Rochester, and St. Cloud.
Residents in pediatric, family practice, internal medicine, psychiatry, or OB/GYN programs, as well as primary care physicians who are currently licensed in Minnesota are eligible to apply.
Preference is given to applicants closest to completing their training; those who can demonstrate diverse cultural competencies; and those who plan to provide at least 25% of annual patient encounters to state public program enrollees and/or patients receiving a sliding fee schedule.
Up to $33,000 per year with a maximum of $132,000.
A link to the application guidelines is available on the program website when applications are being accepted.
Apply using the online grants portal.
