Workforce Development
Michigan Primary Care Association places a strong emphasis on developing and overseeing workforce development initiatives to increase the effectiveness of
health professional recruitment and retention programs for the Association and Michigan Health Centers.
Our top priority, and the focus of a majority of our efforts, is assisting Health Centers in recruiting and retaining highly qualified health care professionals to serve the needs of the medically vulnerable population of Michigan.
Our goal is to strengthen the existing network of Health Centers by providing better access to research and best practices surrounding workforce development, and support policies that strengthen the primary care workforce in the future.
Working at a Health Center
Health Centers are ideal settings for clinicians who are dedicated to serving the underserved, working with diverse populations, and participating in a team-oriented environment. Health Center professionals witness the severe need for comprehensive, accessible, affordable, quality care on a daily basis. Benefits for health care professionals working at a Health Center include, but are not limited to:
- Competitive salary
- Flexible hours
- Generous fringe packages
- FTCA coverage for health care practitioners employed by the Health Center
- Reasonable call schedules
- Loan repayment through the National Health Services Corps and the Michigan State Loan Repayment Program (see below for more information)
Besides financial benefits, Health Centers and their employees create a seamless system of access to high quality primary and preventive health care for all residents.
Current Employment Opportunities
