It’s a service in the US, you work in a free clinic in an underserved area

Same kinda concept. I wanted to move to Alaska and work on an Indian reservation because I love the cold, but my wife would never go for it lol plus all my family is here. I’m getting out of the private practice rat race, it’s hard to compete as a small practice. Plus I don’t know how I’ll be able to pay off close to 400k in loans, seems like this is the best way. And I get to give back to a poor community

you know, the one person I know who ended up in Alaska on the program loved it to the point of staying. Indian woman from India. Boggled my mind.
