Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) are designated by HRSA as having shortages of primary medical care, dental or mental health providers and may be geographic (a county or service area), demographic (low income population) or institutional (comprehensive health center, federally qualified health center or other public facility). Medically Underserved Areas/Populations are areas or populations designated by HRSA as having: too few primary care providers, high infant mortality, high poverty and/or high elderly population. More about shortage areas

NOTE: On Thursday November 3, 2011, the list of designated HPSAs was updated to reflect the publication of the Federal Register Notice with the list of designated HPSAs as of September 1, 2011. HPSAs that were designated after September 1, 2011 are considered designated even though they are not on the federal register listing; HPSAs that have been placed in "proposed for withdrawal" or "no new data" status since September 1, 2011 will remain in that status until the publication of the next federal register notice. If there are any questions about the status of a particular HPSA or area, we recommend that you contact the state primary care office in your state; a listing can be obtained at http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/hpsas/primarycareoffices.html.

Restrictions

HPSA Status of No Data Provided, Proposed Withdrawal or Not Designated may not meet eligibility requirements for certain programs such as clinician Loan Repayment. For NHSC placements, only HPSAs with a Status of Designated are eligible for placements. For other programs, please consult with individual programs for eligibility based upon current HPSA Status.
