Definition(s)
- Created in 1970 (its founding was chronicled in the popular political science case study The Dance of Legislation), the National Health Service Corps places physicians and other health professionals in medically undeserved areas, such as rural and inner-city health clinics as well as Indian reservations. Originally the program provided scholarships for medical students who agreed, on completion of their training, to serve for a period of time in the corps, part of the public health service (PHS) corps of commissioned officers.
