Abstract: The purpose of the Faculty Loan Repayment Program is to attract disadvantaged health professionals into faculty positions in accredited health professions schools by offering to make partial payments on education loans. In exchange, the graduate health professional agrees to have a contract with an accredited health professions school to serve as a faculty member for a minimum of two years. All FLRP application information is electronic and is essential to determine the applicants' eligibility and the creditability of existing undergraduate and/or graduate health professional educational loans. The respondents are full-time or part-time faculty members and administrators at schools of health professions.
