The Georgia Dentist Education Loan Repayment Program provides loan repayment assistance for dental student loan debt for dentists who agree to practice full time in a rural community in Georgia for a period of 4 years.
The service contract requires a commitment to practice dentistry for a minimum of 40 clinical hours per week in a Georgia county with a population of 50,000 or less. The practice time requirement can be split between two or more counties as long as none of the practice location counties exceeds a population limit of 50,000.
The dentist may own the practice or be employed by a hospital, group dental practice, community health center, or other healthcare organization. The dentist must participate in the Medicaid program, must agree to accept new patients insured by Medicaid, and actively treat Medicaid patients.
Applicants must:
- Be a citizen, legal resident, or foreign national of the United States
- Have satisfied all requirements for unrestricted dental licensure by the Georgia Board of Dentistry or be eligible for licensure upon graduation
- Be a graduate of an accredited graduate dental education program located in the U.S.
- Hold or be in the process of obtaining a Medicaid Provider Number in Georgia and actively treat Medicaid patients
Up to $150,000 in return for a 4 year service commitment.
