Type of
respondent
optometry, podiatric medicine,
pharmacy, public health, allied health,
or chiropractic, and graduate students in
health administration or clinical
psychology through September 30,
1998. Eligible lenders, such as banks,
savings and loan associations, credit
unions, pension funds, state agencies,
HEAL schools, and insurance
companies, made new refinanced HEAL
loans which are insured by the federal
government against loss due to
borrower’s death, disability, bankruptcy,
and default. The basic purpose of the
program was to assure the availability of
funds for loans to eligible students who
needed to borrow money to pay for their
educational loans. Currently, the
program monitors the federal liability
and assists in default prevention
activities.
The HEAL borrower, the borrower’s
physician, and the holder of the loan
complete the Physician’s Certification
form to certify that the HEAL borrower
meets the total and permanent disability
provisions. The Department uses this
form to obtain detailed information
about disability claims which includes
the following: (1) The borrower’s
consent to release medical records to the
Department of Health and Human
Services and to the holder of the
borrower’s HEAL loans; (2) pertinent
information supplied by the certifying
physician; (3) the physician’s

Indian people and its mission is to raise
their health status to the highest
possible level. The IHS provides a

Mary K. Wakefield,
Administrator.
Purpose
The purpose of this IHS cooperative
agreement is to enhance medical
professional recruitment and continuing
education programs, services and
activities for AI/AN people. The agency
wants to facilitate continuing medical
education for AI/AN physicians through
annual meetings and other venues that
are culturally competent and sensitive.
Another purpose is to recruit AI/AN
health professionals to pursue jobs that
serve AI/AN people and improve the
health care delivery system. A third
purpose is to provide opportunities for
AI/AN youth to learn about the various
Federal agencies and possible careers
within the Federal Government that will
result in a national mentoring program
and creation of a pipeline for AI/AN
youth into health careers. These
activities should result in more AI/AN
youth pursuing careers in the health
professions thereby increasing the
number of AI/AN medical professionals
in the workforce.
