MEDEX Graduate wins the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Award!

John Spitler, PA-C, Yakima class 14

I'm working at Central Washington Family Medicine, which is both a Federally Qualified Health Center look-alike clinic and a Family Practice Residency Program. It is one of two organizations in the area that take uninsured patients and has a large hispanic and farmworker patient base. My Spanish is getting better all the time! The National Health Service Corps loan repayment program awards 50K in return for a 2-year commitment at an approved site. They are doing a pilot program for part-time providers with the same award in return for a 4-year commitment. Unfortunately, the application process closes in July, but there is still money available.
