Eligible licensed professionals currently listed by MDH are OB/GYN physicians, Women's Health Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives, Dental Therapists, Registered Dental Hygienists, and General and Pediatric Dentists.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score 86/100. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100. This is an individual clinician loan-repayment program designed to help approved Minnesota HPSA sites recruit and retain primary care professionals; it is not an equipment, telehealth, or technology procurement and does not create a direct N9+ capture path. Atlas should treat it as workforce intelligence useful to eligible provider organizations without representing the organization itself as the award applicant.
