HRSA, in collaboration with SAMHSA, is hosting a Virtual Job Fair on March 5th, 2019 for Region 7 (Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri) and Region 8 (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming).

This Virtual Job Fair links healthcare providers interested in the field of Opioid Use Disorder treatment with HRSA- supported employers across both regions who are looking for such specialists.  In addition to the employment connections, these positions have the potential to include Loan Forgiveness for eligible clinicians through the National Health Service Corps (NHSC). 

Last year, HRSA’s National Health Service Corps received funding to expand NHSC to include substance use disorder treatment programs specializing in Opioid Use Disorder (e.g. Opioid Treatment Programs, Office-Based Opioid Treatment, and general outpatient SUD treatment programs).  This new NHSC expansion offers eligible healthcare professionals up to $75,000 in loan forgiveness. 

*Healthcare professions eligible for the NHSC-SUD program include licensed Physicians, Advance Practice Nurses/Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses, Pharmacists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Addictions/SUD Counselors (master’s degree and state-issued license or certification).  Refer to the HRSA-NHSC website for specific eligibility requirements.
