- Proposed Health Professional Shortage Area Designations: Impact on North Dakota, Lang, T. & Amundson, M., April 28, 2008
Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) and Medically Underserved Areas/Populations (MUA/Ps) are shortage designations used to identify areas of greatest health needs for which resources can be targeted, such as placement of National Health Service Corps (NHSC) scholars and loan repayors and Community and Migrant Health Center (CHCs, MHC) programs. HPSAs and MUA/Ps designated shortage areas are also the vehicle by which Rural Health Clinics obtain their certification. Additionally, over 40 federal programs have attached HPSA and/or MUA/P designation as criteria to access those programs and funds, including the Medicare incentive
program for physicians.
