The Human Resources Department at BWH is offering an Educational Financial Assistance Program to assist employees with funding their education. To be eligible for this new loan forgiveness program, an employee must be pursuing a career in one of the following targeted fields: exercise physiology, medical records coding, medical radiology, medical technology, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, radiation therapy, nursing, respiratory therapy or surgical technology.
“We are offering this program as part of the BWH Workforce Initiative to support employees in reaching their career goals and also to help fill positions in the Shapiro Cardiovascular Center,” said Beverley Sobers, director of Workforce Development.
A selection committee will review applications and determine which employees receive benefits under this program. If selected, an employee can receive a loan up to $10,000 per academic year to assist in completing their education. Funds will be paid directly to the employee.
Those who are eligible must be in the final two years of an accredited program of study in one of the designated professions listed above. The program can be either full- or part-time. In addition, the selected participant must also:
•Be a BWH employee in good performance standing for at least one year;
•Be in good academic standing with their school; and
•Commit to at least two years of employment after graduation in a regularly scheduled position at BWH
The deadline is Nov. 24. For more information, call Human Resources Workforce Development at 617-954-9600 or e-mail bwhwfd@partners.org
