The Indian Health Service (IHS), a nationwide organization of dedicated health professionals who work to meet the health care needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, is offering a unique opportunity for physicians who seek both personal and professional fulfillment in their careers. IHS health care professionals are considerate in their care, creative in their approach, enthusiastic about their work, and compassionate with their patients. An IHS lifestyle is adventurous, community oriented and focused on service and problem solving.

Key to an Indian health career is eligibility for repayment of health profession education loans through the IHS Loan Repayment Program (LRP). The LRP provides up to $40,000 to cover qualified health profession education loans in exchange for a two-year service commitment at an approved Indian health facility. After completing the initial two-year contract, participants may request (annually) an extension of their IHS LRP contract in exchange for an additional one-year service commitment until all qualified loans are paid.

IHS offers three distinct career options — federal civil service, direct Tribal/Urban Indian hire, or as an officer with the US Public Health Service (USPHS). Whether your specialty is anesthesiology, emergency medicine, epidemiology, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmology, pediatrics, podiatry, psychiatry, radiology, or surgery, you will work with the latest technologies and share knowledge with a mutually supportive team that will help you to grow, create solutions, and contribute to IHS’ success.

Join us for the IHS 2016 Virtual Career Fair! Meet one on one with IHS recruiters and Loan Repayment Program (LRP) analysts to learn more about the Indian Health Service (IHS) — an innovative, dynamic, nationwide network of dedicated health professionals working to meet the individual health care needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives. In addition to real-time feedback and advice, you’ll find helpful links to career opportunities, loan repayment and scholarship program requirements, and other IHS program resources.

INDIAN HEALTH CAREERS —  Opportunity. Adventure. Purpose.

Company

The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), works to ensure that all American Indians and Alaska Natives receive comprehensive, patient-centered health care services and all Indian health facilities are staffed with well-trained, compassionate, committed health professionals.

IHS offers physicians an extraordinary career opportunity to provide community-based care within a variety of health care settings. A wide range of medical specialties are in demand, including anesthesiology, emergency medicine, epidemiology, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmology, pediatrics, podiatry, psychiatry, radiology and surgery. Many of our physicians serve the Indian health community as clinical consultants and advocates for system-wide improvements and innovations.

Indian health careers offer dedicated practitioners a chance to live and work within Native communities, providing a unique opportunity to learn about Tribal culture and experience traditions that have been handed down for generations.

An Indian health career offers physicians a choice of three practice options: working as a federal civil service employee, as an Officer in the Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service (USPHS) or directly for a Tribal or Urban Indian program. Each option offers career flexibility, competitive salaries and benefits and ample opportunity for advancement. Applicants must be US citizens.

Another key benefit is the IHS Loan Repayment Program (LRP), which offers health professionals practicing at Indian health facilities an opportunity to pay off all of their health education student loans in addition to receiving competitive salaries and benefits. Participants are eligible to receive up to $20,000 per year and can extend their contract annually until all of their loans are paid off.
