Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –Today Gov. Lujan Grisham announced a major expansion of New Mexico’s Health Professional Loan Repayment Program. The announcement coming as the latest in a series of administration actions to address a physician shortage that has left 32 of the state’s 33 counties with critical gaps in care. Under the program, licensed physicians — including part-time physicians — will receive $75,000 per year for student debt relief over a four-year service commitment, for a total of up to $300,000. That makes New Mexico’s program the most generous state-funded physician loan repayment offer in the nation.
