Tennessee State Loan Repayment Program (TSLRP) provides loan repayment to qualified primary care practitioners in exchange for a two-year service obligation (full or part-time) at a non-profit or private non-profit within an eligible health professional shortage area (HPSA). Loan repayment can apply to a variety of relevant medical school loans, including primary care doctors, dentists, social workers, pharmacists, and others.
