About the Challenge
The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) builds healthier communities by supporting qualified medical, dental, and mental and behavioral health care providers dedicated to working in areas of the United States with limited access to care. In recognition of Corps Community Day on October 13, 2011 during the American Medical Student Association (AMSA)'s 13th annual National Primary Care Week, submit a short video (30 to 90 seconds) that illustrates the role of the Corps in your community.
The video can be funny, informative, moving, or all of the above. Put your creative skills to the test! Videos must not contain profanity, violence or weapons, explicit content, or personal attacks on people or organizations. Only videos that do not contain obscene, hateful, offensive or slanderous material will be considered. Videos must not have any visual or verbal mention of any websites other than the NHSC.
The NHSC is a network of more than 9,000 practicing providers at close to 12,000 sites in urban, rural, and frontier areas. More than 37,000 primary care health professionals have served in the NHSC since its inception in 1972, providing desperately needed primary health care in areas where providers are in short supply. Strengthening and growing our primary health care workforce is critical to keeping America healthy. The NHSC plays an important role in helping to address the country’s primary care shortage and is expanding to help meet the need for providers in underserved communities. The NHSC is eager to learn how the NHSC has impacted your life, and/or your community.
