<p>Darnit, that sentence was supposed to be “high-need urban or RURAL areas.” My fingers were getting away from me. NHSC-funded doctors most likely will NOT be living in suburban areas while they are working off their assistance.</p>
<p>And when I said “relatively hefty” I meant “hefty” compared to the rest of the US population. A salary of $150K still puts one in the top bracket of US earners, although it certainly is not enough to pay off medical school debt at somewhere like Harvard. That’s another good reason to go to your state flagship’s public medical college.</p>
