The New York State Department of Health has recently announced funding of awards across the State to attract new physicians to areas where some specialties are in short supply. Below is a list of more than 100 awards to hospitals/health systems. The hospitals/health systems must fill these positions within the next 6 months. If you are interested in any of the positions, you can contact the person at the facility directly by clicking on the link.

Two types of awards are available:

Loan Repayment

The recruited physicians will receive payments directly. The maximum award is for $150,000 over a five-year period, with the annual amounts increasing each year. Recruited physicians must make a five-year commitment to the position. The amount of the award may vary by facility.

Practice Support

This funding is for two years to assist new physicians in setting up a practice. The maximum amount of the awards is $100,000, but this could vary by facility.
