Bureau of Health Workforce

The Bureau of Health Workforce is a part of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. HRSA programs train health care professionals and place them where they are needed most. Grants support scholarship and loan repayment programs at colleges and universities to meet critical workforce shortages and promote diversity within the health professions.

The Bureau was formed in 1967, absorbing the U.S. Public Health Service Division of Nursing, which was formed in 1899, and Division of Dental Public Health, which was formed in 1949.
