The objective and purpose of the New Mexico Health Professions Student Loan-for-Service Acts are to increase the number of health professionals in areas of the state which have experienced shortages of health practitioners, by making educational loans to students seeking certification/licensure in an eligible health profession. The acts require, as a condition of each loan, that the student declare their intent to practice as a health professional within one of the areas of the state designated by the health profession advisory committee, of the New Mexico higher education department, as a health professional shortage area.
