WHO WE ARE: We are a state agency charged with recruiting health professionals in rural and underserved Oklahoma communities through multiple programs. Our agency was previously known as Physician Manpower Training Commission and was changed in August 2022 by the state legislature to place us in a position to expand our mission. WHAT WE DO: Provide programs in the areas of scholarship, loan repayment, and incentive programs to commit physicians, nurses, and advanced practice healthcare professionals to practice in rural and undeserved communities in Oklahoma. In addition we administer legislative support to specific family medicine residency programs and have recently been charged with the administration of ARPA funding to expand nursing and optometry training opportunities.
