Up to $100,000 in Student Loan Repayment Through NHSC — Plus Competitive Base Salary
If you carry medical school debt and want to build a meaningful outpatient practice with no nights, no weekends, and no call — this role was built for you.
Our Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving one of Massachusetts' most vibrant and diverse SouthCoast communities, is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible
**Women's Health Physician** to join our dedicated clinical team.
25-30 Minutes from Providence
Why This Role Stands Out
**No call. No weekends.**
**NHSC Loan Repayment — Up to $100,000**
As a qualifying FQHC in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA), our site is eligible for the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program. Physicians who qualify can receive up to $100,000 in tax-free student loan repayment over two years. For most physicians, this adds $25,000–$70,000 in real annual take-home value — something no private practice or hospital system can match.
**Competitive Compensation**
- Base salary: $240,000–$260,000 depending on experience
- Sign-on bonus available - $20,000
- Moving Allowance
- Full benefits including health, dental, vision, malpractice coverage, CME allowance, and PTO
