Factors that predict National Health Service Corps physicians' intentions to remain at or leave their assigned clinic sites

This overall purpose of this research is to determine how the National Health Service Corps could be more efficient. Most National Health Service Corps (NHSC) physicians agree to practice in health professional shortage areas in exchange for payment of their medical school tuition or educational loans. The program could be more efficient if NHSC physicians remained at their payback sites longer. The specific goal of this research is to identify factors with which urban NHSC physicians must be satisfied to consider remaining at their practice sites beyond the obligatory period.
