On June 25, 2021, Physicians for a Healthy California (PHC) and the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced that 244 physicians and 43 dentists were awarded approximately $67.9 million in student loan repayments. These loan repayments were awarded to physicians and dentists who are committed to expanding access to care for Medi-Cal communities.
CalHeathCares held two awardee webinars to review program expectations and contractual requirements. Awardee agreements have been distributed with an effective date of July 1, 2021.
In the fall, we will be announcing the open application period for the upcoming FY 2021-22, cohort 4 cycle. At that time, PHC will also be requesting your assistance to volunteer to review and score applications.
